Two Friends

Two Friends

Two friends were walking through the desert.During some
point 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 my best friend
slapped me in the face."

They kept on walking until they found an oasis. There,
they decided to take a bath. The one who had been
slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning,
but the friend saved him.

After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on
a stone: "Today my best friend saved my life ".

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 on a stone, why?"

The friend replied, "When someone hurts us, we should
write it down in sand, where winds of forgiveness can
erase it away. But, when someone does something good
for us, we must carve it in stone! In stone, no wind
can erase it."

Always write your hurts in the sand... carve your
benefits in stone.
