Controlling
Temper
By : Jacob
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 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.”
