The
Boy and the Nettles
A BOY 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, grasp it boldly, and it will be
soft
as silk to your hand, and not in the least hurt you."
Whatever you do, do with all your
might.
