Nail in the Fence

A good story for great friends
Make sure you read it all the way 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 37 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 in 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 her
Mother suggested that the girl now pull out one nail
For each day that she is 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 lead her to the fence

She said �you have done well my daughter, but
Look at all the holes in the fence. The fence will never
be the same. When say things in anger, they leave
a scare 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 am sorry� the wound will still be 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.

Show your friends how much you care. Send this to
Everyone you consider a FRIEND, even if it means
Sending it back to the person who sent it to you.

If it comes back to you, then you�ll know you have a
Circle of friends. You are my friend and I am honored

Please forgive me if I have ever left a hole in your fence��

I hope all of you enjoy this... It means a lot to me...
