Sand And Stone


Two frineds were crossing the desert.
At one point they had an argument,
and one slapped the other.

The one who got slapped, 
without saying anything wrote in the sand:
"TODAY MY BEST FRINED SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE"
They kept on walking till they found an oasis,
where they decided to take a bath,
the one who got slapped got stuck in the mire and was drowing,
but his friend saved him.

After the ordeal,
he wrote on a stone,
"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE"
The friend who had slapped him,then saved his life asked,
"After I slapped you, you wrote on sand, and now on stone, why?"

His friend replied,
"When someone hurts us, we should writeit down on sand where the winds of forgiveness will erase it away.
But when someone does something good for us,we should engrave it on stone so that it will not never be forgotten."

Write your hurts in sand, but carve your blessings in stone.
