SAND AND STONE

    A story tells that friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had and argument and one friend slapped the other on 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 him 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 wrote on a stone, why?” The other friend replied, “When someone hurt us, we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away.    

But, when someone does something good to us, we should engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.
