The Boy and the Nettle.A Boy was stung by a Nettle. He ran home and told his mother, saying:"Although it pains me so much, I did but touch it ever so gently." "Thatwas just it," said his mother, "which caused it to sting you. The nexttime you touch a Nettle, grasp it boldly, and it will be soft as silk toyour hand, and not in the least hurt you." Whatever you do, do with all your might. From Aesop's Fables |
