nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over
the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily
gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those
nails into the fence.

Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it
and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to
hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that
all the nails were gone.

The following te xt is for the questions number 31-35

In a small Italian town, hundreds of years ago, a small business owner owed a large
sum of money to a loan-shark. The loan-shark was a very old, unattractive looking guy
that just so happened to fancy the business owner‟s daughter. He decided to offer the
businessman a deal that would completely wipe out the debt he owed him. However,
the catch was that he would only wipe out the debt if he could marry the businessman‟s
daughter.

Needless to say, this proposal was met with a look of disgust. The loan-shark said that
he would place two pebbles into a bag, one white and one black. The daughter would
then have to reach into the bag and pick out a pebble. If it was black, the debt would be
wiped, but the loan-shark would then marry her. If it was white, the debt would also be
wiped, but the daughter wouldn‟t have to marry the loan-shark.

Standing on a pebble-strewn path in the businessman‟s garden, the loan-shark bent

over and picked up two pebbles. Whilst he was picking them up, the daughter noticed
that he‟d picked up two black pebbles and placed them both into the bag. He then
asked the daughter to reach into the bag and pick one. The daughter naturally had three
choices as to what she could have done: first, to refuse to pick a pebble from the bag,
second, to take both pebbles out of the bag and expose the loan-shark for cheating, or
to pick a pebble from the bag fully well knowing it was black and sacrifice herself for her
father‟s freedom.

She drew out a pebble from the bag, and before looking at it „accidentally‟ dropped it
into the midst of the other pebbles. She said to the loan-shark; “Oh, how clumsy of me.
Never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which
pebble I picked.”

The pebble left in the bag is obviously black, and seeing as the loan-shark didn‟t want to
be exposed, he had to play along as if the pebble the daughter dropped was white, and
clear her father‟s debt.
