    Two friends had an argument while walking through the desert, and one friend slapped the other. When this happened, the slapped friend wrote in the sand "Today my best friend slapped me in the face." Later, at an oasis, the friend who was slapped fell into the mire and started drowning, but was saved by his friend. After recovering, he wrote on a stone "Today my best friend saved my life." When asked why he wrote in different places, he explained that hurts should be written in sand to be erased by the wind, but good deeds should be engraved in stone to never be erased.

    Having a Best Friend

    A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. At some point during 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 other friend replied “When
    someone hurts us, we should write it down in the 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.”
