聽力擴展：The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. Remember that friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts to us.”過了些天，男孩告訴父親，籬笆上所有的釘子都被拔去了。父親拉著兒子的手，來到了籬笆旁。“你做得很棒，我的孩子。”父親說，“可是你瞧見籬笆上那些洞了嗎？籬笆再也不會是原來那個樣子了。你發脾氣時說出的傷害別人的話會給對方留下一道傷痕。如同用刀去扎人，隨后又把刀抽出來一樣。孩子，要記住，朋友是世上最珍貴的寶石。朋友會帶給你無盡歡笑，朋友會鼓勵你成功，朋友會聆聽、會贊揚、會永遠對你敞開心扉。”
