What will you most likely overlook when kicking a football?

                There was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he loses his temper, he must hammer a nail into 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 him temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy should 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 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. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there.

"..., they leave a scar just like this one." (paragraph 3)

The underlined word refers to ....

     This large waterbird is unmistakable due to its unique 'shoe-shaped' bill which gives it an almost prehistoric appearance-reminding us of birds' dinosaur ancestry.

     Found in nine countries across Africa, the species has a large range, but exist in small localised populations concentrate around swamps and wetlands. Individuals are highly solitary-often the male and female in a breeding pair prefer to occupy different ends of their shared territory

     The nest is large and flattened, built amid swamp grasses or sedges and usually on a mound of floating vegetation or a small island. The construction can be up to three metres wide. Although a clutch of up to three dull, chalky-white eggs is laid, typically only one nestling survives due to enter-siblings rivalry, where the larger (generally first born) chick will out-compete and/or kill its siblings. The breeding season varies, being dependent on Africa's seasonal flood cycle.

     The shoebill is undergoing a continuing decline owing to the effects of habital destruction and degradation, pollution, nest disturbance, hunting a capture for the live bird trade. The global population is currently estimated at between 5,000-8,000 birds and the species is classed as vulnerable by the IUCN red list of threatened species.

     This species inhabits wetland habitats, preferring large, seasonally flooded marshes with dense vegetation and areas of floating vegetation often formed by papyrus. They are highly solitary and they forage by 'walking slowly' or standing. Large fish such as lungfish are their preferred prey item, but it will feed on a variety of aquatic animals including amphibians, water snakes, young crocodiles, as well as rodents and waterfowl chicks.
