Sand and
Stone
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 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.
Send this
phrase to
The people
you'll never
forget. I just did.
If you
don't
Send it
to anyone,
It means
you're in a
Hurry
and that you've
Forgotten
your friends.
Take the
time to live!
Do not
value the things
You have
in your life, but value
Who you
have in your life!
And if
I happen to get it back,
Then I
know my place in your life.
