Read the following passage carefully.
Once upon a time, there lived a boy. He used to lose his temper very quickly and become angry. He would scold kids, neighbours, and even his friends. So, his friends and neighbors ignored him.
His mother and father tried to explain his mistake to him in all possible ways. But all their attempts failed.
One day his father thought of an idea. He gave his son a huge bag of nails. He told his son that whenever he lost his temper, he had to hammer a nail into the fence. The boy found this very funny but agreed to do what his father had said.
On the first day he drove 30 nails into the fence. On the next day the number of nails hammered reduced to half. The boy fdund hammering the nails very difficult and decided to control his anger. The number of nails he hammered every day kept reducing and the day came when no nail was hammered into the fence. (Nails in the Fence)
