Effect of angryness
Long ago.in a village there lived a father and son. Son was very arrogant. He used to get angry for very small reasons. Father was worrying about this as it may jeopardise son's future. Hence , one day father called son and advised him not to get angry unnecessarily. Son said he cant control his angryness. it just happens . So, father said a solution.
He said to son , "Whenever you get angry, just go and hit a nail to the wall till you get calm". Son agreed . That day itself he started hitting the nail to the wall whenever he gets angry. First day , he hit 100 times. Next day little less. This continued for days. Now, the amount of nail hitting is greatly reducing day by day. One day came and son didnt think of hitting the nail to wall !
That day he came and said to father about this. Father said it is a good sign. Now try to remove the nails you have hit on the wall. Son agreed. Though it is difficult for him , he succeded in removing all the nails taking many days of time.
Son came and said the same thing to father. Then father went near the wall with son. There were all marks on the wall by nail hitting. Father showed the marks to son. He asked whether he can correct that also. Son replied he cant. Then father said " Same thing with humans also. You may scold anyone in angryness . Then you may beg pardon also. But the effect of scolding will be always there in other person's mind. That cannot be repaired. So , its better to control our own angryness .We must not let it to harm other's feelings." By hearing these words, son learnt a great lesson.

Excellent story with the great and right moral - I hope I can try it a bit, though, now a days, in these concrete wall, even hitting one nail is so difficult!!
