小男孩与钉子的故事英文版
从前,有一个脾气很坏的男孩.他的爸爸给了他一袋钉子,告诉他,每次发脾气或者跟人吵架的时候,就在院子的篱笆上钉一根.第一天,男孩钉了37根钉子.后面的几天他学会了控制自己的脾气,每天钉的钉子也逐渐减少了.他发现,控制自己的脾气,实际上比钉钉子要容易的多.终于有一天,他一根钉子都没有钉,他高兴的把这件事告诉了爸爸.
爸爸说："从今以后,如果你一天都没有发脾气,就可以在这天拔掉一根钉子."日子一天一天过去,最后,钉子全被拔光了.爸爸带他来到篱笆边上,对他说："儿子,你做得很好,可是看看篱笆上的钉子洞,这些洞永远也不可能恢复了.就象你和一个人吵架,说了些难听的话,你就在他心里留下了一个伤口,像这个钉子洞一样."

注：人与人之间常常因为一些彼此无法释怀的坚持,而造成永远的伤害.如果我们都能从自己做起,开始宽容地看待他人,相信你（你）一定能收到许多意想不到的结果.帮别人开启一扇窗,也就是让自己看到更完整的天空.
