Sand writing

A story tells that two friends were walking through the
desert. In a specific 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 anything
to say, 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 take a bath. The one who got slapped and hurt
started drowning, and the other friend saved him. When he
recovered from the fright, he wrote on a stone: "TODAY MY
BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE".

The friend who saved and slapped his best friend, asked him,
"Why, after I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now you
write on a stone?"

The other friend, smiling, replied: "When a friend hurts us,
we should write it down in the sand, where the winds of
forgiveness get in charge of erasing it away, and when
something great happens, we should engrave it in the stone
of the memory of the heart, where no wind can erase it"

Learn to write in the sand.
