Nail in the Fence – A good story for Great Friends…..
Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence!
There once was a little girl who had a bad temper. Her mother gave her a bag of nails and told
her that every time she lost her temper, she must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The
first day the girl had driven 32 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as she learned to
control her anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down.
She discovered it was easier to hold her temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally, the day came when the girl didn’t lose her temper at all.
She told her mother about it and the mother suggested that the girl pull out one nail for each day
that she was able to hold her temper. The days passed and the young girl was finally able to tell
her mother that all the nails were gone.
The mother took her daughter by the hand and led her to the fence. She said, “You have done
well, my daughter, 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 person and
draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say “I’m sorry”, the wound is still there. A verbal
wound is as bad as a physical one.
Friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed.
They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts to us.
