Once, there was a boy in

His teachers got a lot of complaints against him. His class teacher
Mr. Thapa made plan to teach him a lesson. He brought a bag
of nails. He gave the bag of nails to him. He also gave him a
hammer.

"Dear Binaya, Every time you get angry, hammer one nail into
the fence in the backyard," said Mr Thapa.

For the first few days, the boy hammered so many nails. Now he
had only half bag full of nails.

As time passed, he hammered fewer number of nails. He also
grew angry less often.

I am very happy that you are not angry. Now pull a nail each
day when you are not angry."

Finally, Binaya pulled the last nail in the fence. Then, Mr Thapa
said, “You have done well, boy. But do you see the holes? Is the
fence same like before? So when you say or hurt someone in
