The Two Friends
During the journey, they had
an argument and one friend slapped the other in the face.
The one who was slapped was
hurt. Without saying anything, she wrote in the sand,
Today, my best friend slapped me in my 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 to drown but was saved by their friend.
After recovering from the
near drowning, she wrote on a stone,
Today, my best friend saved my life.
The friend who had slapped
and saved her best friend asked, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand but
now you write on a stone. Why?”
The friend replied, “When
someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand where the winds of
forgiveness can blow it away. When someone does something good for us, we
must engrave it in stone where no wind can erase it.”
