Once upon a time, there was a little boy who used to get angry easily. He had a bad temper and would say things that could hurt others. He would scold everyone around due to his anger and would use harsh words on them. To help him control his anger, his father decided to teach him a lesson. He gave the little boy a bag full of nails in it. He told that he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence, every time he lost his temper.The little boy started putting the nail with a hammer on the fence every time he lost his temper. On the first day, the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Every day, he used to do the same. Over the few weeks, he learned to control his anger, and slowly, the number of nails hammered on the fence decreased. He found out that it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.Finally, the day came when the boy did not lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father then told the boy to pull out one nail for each day, he was able to control his temper. The days passed, the young boy finally removed every nail from the fence. He went to his father and informed him about the nails.His father then took him to the fence and said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. The things you say in anger will leave a scar just like this one. No, matter how many times you say sorry, the scar will still be there.” The boy realized his mistake and learned to control his temper. Moral:Harsh words cause damages that cannot be cured. So, always speak kind and sweet words.
