In order to help the son, his father gave him a bag of   37   and told him that every time he   38   his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the   39  .

At first the boy felt puzzled at his father's words, but he did as he was told. The first day the little boy had   40   thirty nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks,   41   he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily   42   reduced. Three months later, the little boy discovered it was easier to   43   his temper than to hammer those nails into the fence. Finally the day came   44   the little boy did not lose his temper at all.

The days passed and the little boy was   47   able to tell his father that all the nails were       48  .

You can put a knife in a man and draw it out.   53   many times you say “I'm sorry”, the wound is still there. A mental wound is as bad as a   54   one. The hurt and pain caused by the   55   are deeper than those caused by the hand.
