Sand and Stone

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything,

wrote in the sand:"TODAY MT BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE”.


They kept on walking until they found as oasis, where they decide to take a bath. The one, who had been slapped, got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend save him. After the friend recover from the near drowning, he wrote on the stone:"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIVE”.
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now, you write it on the stone, why?”


The other friend replied:”when someone hurt us, we should write it in the sand where the winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”
LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND, AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFIR IN THE STONE.
