A Hole in the Fence

In a small village, a little boy lived with his father and mother. He was the only son for them. The parent of the little boy was very depressed due to his bad temper. The boy used to get angry very soon and taunt others with his words. His bad temper made him fall for angry words.
He scolded kids, neighbours and even his friends due to anger. He invited all worries for his parents through the verbal usage. While he forgets what he spoke in anger, his friends and neighbours avoided him.

His mother and father consoled him in ways to give up his anger and develop kindness. Unfortunately, all their attempts failed. Finally, the boy’s father came up with an idea.

One day, his father gave him a huge bag of nails. He asked his son to hammer one nail to the fence every time he becomes angry and lose his temper. The little boy found it hilarious and accepted to do what his father said.

The nails drove him to hammer in the fence for 30 times in the first day! Every time he lost his temper, he ran to fence and hammered a nail. In the next few days, the number of nails hammered on the fence was reduced to half. The little boy found it very difficult to hammer the nails and decided to control his temper.
