Tom was a 9-year old boy. He had a temper so bad that even boys much older than him were afraid of him.

Tom’s father was very concerned. He kept thinking of how to help Tom correct his behavior. One day, he gave Tom a bag of nails.

“What’s the nails for?” Tom asked in puzzlement.

“Son, let’s play a little game,” his father said. “From now on, every time you lose your temper, go hammer a nail in the back fence.”

“Oh, a game!” Tom was delighted that his dad wanted to play with him and took the bag of nails happily.
