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.”
