A boy learns a valuable lesson about facing challenges after being stung by a nettle.
THE BOY AND THE NETTLEA Boy, stung by a Nettle, ran home crying, to get his mother to blow on the hurt and kiss it."Son," said the Boy's mother, when she had comforted him, "the next time you come near a Nettle, grasp it firmly, and it will be as soft as silk." Whatever you do, do with all your might.
