00:00There was a young boy who could not control his anger.
00:05He would say whatever came to his mind, even if it hurt people.
00:11His father noticed this and wanted to teach him a lesson.
00:16The father asked him to hammer a nail into the backyard fence whenever he got angry.
00:21In the beginning, the boy used up a lot of nails.
00:26But as time went by, he started using fewer nails.
00:31The father then asked him to start removing a nail from the fence each day.
00:37He did not get angry.
00:40Gradually, the boy learned to control his anger.
00:44When he had removed all the nails, the father asked him to look at the holes in the fence.
00:50The father reminded him that the fence would never be the same.
00:56Likewise, the hurtful words he had said to people could never be erased.
