Example of a short inspirational story text (and its structure)
According to the Ministry of Education and Culture Team (2017, p. 153), examples of inspirational stories are as follows.
Nail and anger
Orientation
In the past, there was a boy. He is smart, talented and handsome. Unfortunately, he is very selfistic and irritable, and no one wants to be his friend. Often he gets angry and spits hurtful words to those around him.
Event Complexity
The child's parents were very worried about the temperament of his child. They think about what they have to do. One day his father got an idea. He called on his child and gave his son a hammer and a bag of nails. The father said, "Whenever you feel angry, take a nail and stick it into the old fence in front of our house as hard as you can.
Complications
The wooden fence turned out to be very hard. The hammer used is quite heavy. Because the boy was so violent, on the first day alone, he had driven 37 nails.
Day after day, week after week, the number of nails being driven was getting less and less. After some time, the child understands that holding back anger is easier than driving nails into the fence.
One day the boy no longer needed a hammer and nails. He had learned to hold his anger well. Then he came to his father and told him about his success in controlling his anger. "Now, every time, if you can hold your anger for a day, pull out the nails that have been stuck in the fence."
Resolution
Some time passed. Finally, the child was proud after all the nails pulled out were all gone. When he came to his father and told him everything, he offered to tidy up and maintain the fence. "You've done it, son, but take a look at the hole in the nail. The fence will not be like before, and it is deformed.
coda
The same thing happens when you hurt people with your words. Words leave scars on hearts like nail holes in fences. Remember, we must treat everyone with love and respect because even though we have apologized and been forgiven, the wound in the heart will never go away.
