Book Review : Holes In The Fence

Recently I've just read a book entitled ' Holes In The Fence' . Its about a boy with a very bad temper. His temper was so bad that none would come near him. His temper had made him lost his friends, brother, sister and even his own mom. One day, his was shouting at the top of his voice " WHERE'S MY TOWEL??" . Then, his father knocked softly on his son's door. The boy was terrified to saw his father was just wearing a piece of ' sarong ' around him, making himself looked like a ' servent' . From that, the boy had realised how bad his temper was before this. His father taught him a way to control his temper by hammering a nail into the fence when he lose his temper. After a while, he was able to control his temper but, he must now take out one nail everyday which he hammered on the fence before. When he did, his father told him about the holes in the fence, he said " You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never ever be the same. When you speak and act in anger, they leave scars just like the holes in the fence. It wont's matter how many times you say you are sorry, the wound is stilol there." From that day onward, the boy had chance his attitute and now he has many friends.
