英語寓言故事：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.
