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.”
