Bad Temper
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. At first, the boy had driven thirty-
seven 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 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. Consequently, 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. In other words, a verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.
