The Fence Working Sheet(2021年高中英语人教版)

The Fence
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 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 he hammered went down day by day. 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 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. Make sure you control your temper next time you are tempted to say or do something you will regret later.”
