Once upon a time，there was a father and a son.The son was very rude and often hurt others’feelings with bitter words.So he had no friends and got more and more fretful(煩躁的)day by day.The father had been trying to persuade him to change his bad manner but father’s efforts made no difference on the wild son.

One day，the father got an idea.He set up a wooden board and called his son over and gave him a hammer and a box of nails.He told the young man to hammer a nail every time when he had a quarrel.The son did so.After a day，he himself saw the board was filled with nails whose quantity was so huge which looked so ugly that he was shocked and finally made up his mind to be a nice guy.The father suggested he pull out one nail every time when he checked his bad temper and avoided talking impolitely.He did that.When the last nail was drawn out the son was so excited that he couldn’t help showing the board to his father.However，his cheer trailed_away and slowly he grew frustrated(沮喪的)while he was staring at the board which was actually as disagreeable as a water?sapped (被水侵蝕的)stone deep on the seabed.The father pointed to the holes left in the board and told him that sometimes the hurt just like the holes stuck in one’s mind forever.The boy cried and regretted being such an impudent(輕浮的)guy.Since then，he was polite and kind and made a lot of friends，and turned happily.
