Two friends get into an argument while traveling through the desert and one slaps the other. The one who was slapped writes this in the sand. Later, at an oasis, the one who was slapped falls into the mire and begins drowning, but is saved by his friend. He then engraves what happened in a stone. When asked why he wrote in different mediums, he explains that hurts should be written in sand to be erased by forgiveness, but good deeds engraved in stone to last forever.

2. 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”.

3. 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”.

4. 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?”

5. 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.”

6. “Do not value the things you have in your
life. But value who you have in your life.”
