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.
