When she came of age and prepared to go out into the wide world, her mother said to her 'My dear daughter, now a young woman, once a little girl, I am so very proud of you that you are going out to make a life for yourself in the wide world. Now as you go about your life, always remember to measure twice and cut once.' The young woman then went about her way, and one day, she grew arrogant, and she measured only once. Sure enough, she erred, and had to mend her ways.
