The story revolves around two friends who were walking in the middle of the desert and at some point on their journey they had a big fight, and one of them slapped each other in the face.
He who had been struck felt great pain and sorrow, but without saying a word, he wrote in the sand: – “Today my good friend slapped me in the face.
Then they continued walking until they reached a beautiful oasis, so they decided to bathe in the oasis lake, but the young man who had been slapped previously got stuck in a swamp of mud and started drowning.
His friend rushed to him and saved him. At that time, the young man, who was about to drown on a large rock, wrote the following sentence:
“Today my best friend saved my life.”
And here the friend who slapped him and saved him asked him:
“After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now you write on the rock, why is that?”
The young man replied:
“When someone hurts us, we should write his abuse in the sand so that the winds of forgetting can wipe it away.
But when someone does us a favor, we must engrave it on the rock, so that we will never forget it, and never erase it with a wind.”
