Nice Story The Gentle Touch by William Barclay

     Some city boys were living on a farm during vacation time. One day a calf got out of the barn and the three of them were trying to get it back in. So one of them pulled on its little horns and the other two pushed from behind. But the more they pulled and pushed, the more the calf just stiffened its legs and stood there.
The farmer’s young daughter came along and watched them. She smiled, walked over to the calf, and put her finger into its mouth. As the calf sucked her finger, it willingly walked into the barn.
    The boys scratched their heads in wonder. They had used the wrong approach. They had insisted on doing what they wanted, completely disregarding what the calf wanted. The farm girl played the other angle: she gave the calf what it wanted, and it followed her willingly.
