A stich in time saves nine

There once lived a boy in our neighbourhood who  was an international drunker.The guy had just left high school life a year ago.It was narrated all over the village that he ventured into drugs as a result of peer influence in his school.
Fortunately he was rescued by a girl who had just accomplished a course in G&C.After having counselled the victim he started leading a better life  than b4 and he is now a man sobber mind and no longer leading a life of object poverty.
Do you know what he is now  on the upper hand to fight against drug trafficking in our village and for sure in his speeches he elaborate fully the adage that goes"Once bitten twice shy"
