Response in English: The phrase a stitch in time saves nine is a proverb that means its better to deal with a problem or fix something when it first appears, rather than waiting until it gets worse and becomes more difficult to handle. The idea is that a timely effort, like mending a small tear with one stitch, will prevent the need for more work or effort later, like having to sew up a larger hole with nine stitches. Thus, taking early action can prevent more problems in the future. .
