Friends in the Desert Spiritual Story by Unknown

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 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 friend replied,  when someone hurts us  we should write it down in sand,  where the 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."
