There was a little boy who got angry easily. His father gave him a bag of nails(钉子) and told him that every  16  he got angry, to drive a nail into the back wall. The first day the boy had 17  37 nails into the wall. Then he put fewer and fewer nails. He found it was 18  to be not angry than to drive those  19  into the wall.  Finally the day came when the boy didn't get  20  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 be not angry. The days  21  and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that  22  nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the  23 . He said, "You have done  24 , my son, but look at the holes in the wall. The wall will  25  be the same. When you say things  26 , they leave a scar(伤疤) just like this one. You  27  put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter  28  you say I'm sorry, the wound(伤口) is still there. A mental hurt is as bad as a physical one. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you  29  and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always 30  to open their hearts to us.

Once there was a little boy. He got angry easily. His father gave him some nails (钉子)and told him: “When you get angry, put a nail into the wall.”
On the first day, the boy put 37 nails into the wall. The next day, he put in fewer nails. A few days later, he found it much easier not to get angry.
After a while, the boy was happy every day.
Then, his father asked him to take out a nail each day if he didn’t get angry. After some time, all the nails were gone.
Then the father took the boy to the wall and said: “Well done, son. But, look, the wall is full of holes. It will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar(伤疤) in people’s hearts(心). No matter how many times you say sorry, the scars will always be there.”
