Read the following passage and
answer the questions (1-5).
Once there was a little boy who had a bad
temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and
told him to hammer a nail into the back of the
fence every time he would lose his temper. 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 now the father suggested
him to 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
will still be there.
