　　Nails in the Fence(釘子與籬笆)

　　There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence.

　　The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.

　　Then it 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. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, 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 man 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 a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us. Show your friends how much you care.

  • 【雙語彙】Fence:一個籬笆有幾個意思

    比如，牆籬笆。我當然也是看來的，來源無非是民國報刊。 雖然第一時間就讀著有點怪，心裡還是想，方言的讀音會異化也說不定。何況它的意思似乎狠貼切，籬笆就是拿來派牆的用場的。 細究起來，這可以稱之為望義生文。狠多人有這種思維定勢。
