A Story about Friendship

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 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 

BENEFITS 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. 

Do not value the THINGS 

you have in your life. But value 

WHO you have in your life!
