A Story of Lasting Freindship


Two friends were walking along a beach.

During their walked they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.

Without saying anything, the one friend wrote in the sand, "Today my best friend slapped me in the face." 

They silently continued on until they had to cross an inlet.

The one who had slapped got caught into the current and started to panic, 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 write on a stone, why??"

The other friend replied "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where waves of forgiveness wash it away. But when someone does something good for us we must carve it in stone where it can never be forgotten."

Moral: Learn to write your curses in the sand and to carve your blessings in stone.
