Writing On The Sand

  A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. In a specific point of the journey, they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one on the face. The one, who got slapped, was hurt but without anything to say, he wrote in the sand: “TODAY MY FRIEND SLAPPED ME ON THE FACE”.

            They keep on walking, until they found an oasis, where they decided to take bath. The one who got slapped and hurt started drowning, and the other friend saved him, “When he recovered from the fright, he wrote on a stone: “TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE”.

The friend who saved and slapped his best friend, asked him, “Why, after I hurt you, you wrote on the sand, and now you write on a stone?”

            The other friend, smiling, replied: “When a friend hurts us, we should write  it on the sand, where the wind of forgiveness get in charge of erasing it away, and when something great happens, we should engrave it in the stone of the memory of the heart, where no wind can erase it”
