Nails In The Fence
There once was a little boy who
had a bad temper. His father
gave him a bag of nails and told
him that every time he lost his
temper, he must hammer a nail
into the back of the fence.
The first day the boy had driven
37 nails into the fence. Over the
next few weeks, as he learned to
control his anger, the number of
nails hammered daily gradually
dwindled down. He discovered it
was easier to hold his temper
than to drive those nails into the
fence.
Finally the day came when the
boy didn't lose his temper at all.
He told his father about it and
the father suggested that the
boy now pull out one nail for
each day that he was able to
hold his temper. The days passed
and the young boy was finally
able to tell his father that all the
nails were gone.
The father took his son by the
hand and led him to the fence.
He said, "You have done well, my
son, but look at the holes in the
fence. The fence will never be
the same. When you say things
in anger, they leave a scar just
like this one. You can put a knife
in a man and draw it out. It
won't matter how many times
you say I'm sorry, the wound is
still there."
The little boy then understood
how powerful his words were.
He looked up at his father and
said "I hope you can forgive me
father for the holes I put in you."
"Of course I can," said the father.
