Title: The Boy And The Nettle Author: Aesop (author of Aesop's Fables) [More Titles by Aesop (author of Aesop's Fables)] A Boy was stung by a Nettle. He ran home and told his mother, saying: "Although it pains me so much, I did but touch it ever so gently." "That was just it," said his mother, "which caused it to sting you.
