He quickly realized he didn’t have the necessary supplies for the project. He then panicked when his mom told him she would not be able to take him shopping until late that afternoon. “Now you know, Jackson, a stitch in time saves nine,” his mother told him. “You’ll spend your whole evening working, but you’ve learned a great lesson.”
