    Two friends had an argument while walking through the desert and one friend slapped the other. The slapped friend wrote this in the sand but did not say anything. Later, while taking a bath in an oasis, the same friend who was slapped got stuck in the mud and began drowning, but was saved by his friend. The friend who was saved then wrote about being saved on a stone. When asked why he wrote in sand before but on stone now, he explained that hurts should be written in sand so forgiveness can erase them, but good deeds should be engraved in stone so they are never forgotten.

    Having a Best Friend

    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”
    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 mud 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 slapped and saved his best friend asked him,
    “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you wrote on
    a 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
    on stone where no wind can erase it.”
    Moral of the story:
    “Don’t value that things what you have in your life, but
    value who you have in your life”
