A Short Story : Bad Temper

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. He would lash out at

his friends when he didn’t get his way. One day, 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, 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. The fence will never be the

same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. It won't

matter how many times you say I'm sorry. The damage has been done.”
