Scar left by anger....must read

NAILS IN THE FENCE

Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence.

(Mostimportantly
the last sentence)

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.
But It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry,

the wound will still be there.
