The Best Friends
Two friends were walking through the
desert. At one stage in their 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 he 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 have a wash.
The one who had been slapped got stuck in a mire and started drowning, but his
friend saved him. After he had recovered from his shock, he wrote on a stone,
“Today my best friend saved my life.”
The
friend who slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you
wrote in the sand and now, you write in 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.”
Moral
of the story: Don’t value the things you have in your life. Value those
who you have in your life.
