LEARN TO WRITE IN THE SAND
Posted: Friday, April 1, 2011 by absolutena inA 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 carved 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 carve 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.”
