The Rabbit and the Turtle
One day, in the forest a rabbit was boasting about how fast he could run. He was
laughing at the turtle for being so slow. Much to the rabbit‟s surprise, the turtle
challenged him to a race. The rabbit thought this was a good joke and accepted the
challenge. The fox was to be the umpire of the race.
As the race began, the rabbit raced way ahead of the turtle, just like everyone
thought. The rabbit got to the halfway point and could not see the turtle anywhere.
He was hot and tired and decided to stop and take a short nap. All this time the turtle
kept walking step by step by step. He never quit no matter how hot or tired he got.
He just kept going.
However, the rabbit slept longer than he had thought and woke up. He could not see
the turtle anywhere! He went at full-speed to the finish line but found the turtle there
waiting for him.

man.

Bad Temper
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 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."
