The man ran to his son, knocked him away, and scratched the little boy with the same nail.When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. Although the doctor tried desperately to save the child’s hands but......he finally had to amputate the hand.
When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged arm, he innocently said, “Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck, I wouldn’t scratch it again.
But can I please have my hand back?
Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or you wish to take revenge. Think first before you lose your patience with someone you love. Trucks can be repaired. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't.
Actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.
