*One day my mother gave me a hammer and some nails.
*She told me that every time I make trouble I have to hammer one of the nails into a tree that
she had picked out before hand.
"...? No problem!!"
*A long time went by, but finally there was no place at my height I could hammer any more
nails into .
*So I got a ladder to hammer the nails into the higher place, but to my surprise my mother
was high up in the tree, looking worriedly down at me. "Mom!"
*Kwangsoo Reflects; 'Mother, now I'll pull out the nails from your heart.'
