Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control > his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually > dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his > temper than to drive those nails into the fence... > Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper 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 hold his temper. > The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell > his father that all the nails were gone.
