Sand and Stone

A story tells that
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,
where 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 the friend
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 other 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 engrave it in
stone where no
wind can ever
erase it."
