Two Friends  

 
 
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 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 other friend replied "When someone hurts us, we 
should write it down in the 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."
 
LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE 
YOUR BLESSINGS IN STONE.
 
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, 
an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but 
then an entire life to forget them.
 
 
 
Let there be more stones, than sand.
