45. Nail in the Fence
Author Unknown
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.
