There was a little boy who got angry easily.
His father gave him a bag of nails(钉子) and told him that every 16 he got angry, to drive
a nail into the back wall. The first day the boy had 17 37 nails
into the wall. Then he put fewer and fewer nails. He found it was 18 to be not angry than to
drive those 19 into the wall. Finally
the day came when the boy didn't get 20 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 be not angry. The days 21 and
the young boy was finally able to tell his father that 22 nails
were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the 23 . He said, "You have done 24 , my son, but look at
the holes in the wall. The wall will 25 be the same. When
you say things 26 ,
they leave a scar(伤疤) just like this one. You 27
put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter 28 you
say I'm sorry, the wound（伤口） is still there. A mental
hurt is as bad as a physical one. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They
make you 29 and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear,
they share a word of praise, and they always 30 to open their hearts to us.
