      The Boy and the Nettle


There was a Boy who was stung by a Nettle. He ran home and told his Mother, saying, "Although it hurts me very much, I only touched it gently."

"That was just why it stung you," said his Mother.

"The next time you touch a Nettle, catch it carefully, and it will be soft as silk to your hand, and not in the least hurt you."

Moral: Whatever you do, do with all your might.
