> There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father

> gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost

> his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the

> fence.

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

> 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.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 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.

> It's National Friendship Week. Show your friends how much
