Two friends, Jimmy and Steven
were walking in the desert. During their walk they had an argument, and Jimmy
slapped Steven on his face. Without saying anything, Steven bent down and wrote
on the sand: ‘Today, my best friend slapped me on my face.’ They kept walking
and arrived near a small lake, where they took their clothes off and jumped
in the water to cool themselves from the oppressive heat. At one moment Steven
found himself in some difficulty and was drowning, but Jimmy was close by and
saved him. When he recovered Steven found a huge rock and on it carved the
words: ‘Today my best friend saved my life.’ Jimmy then turned to
Steven and asked him; How come, when I hit you , you wrote on the sand, and when I
saved you, you wrote on the rock?’ And Steven answered politely: ‘When someone
hurts you, you write what happened on the sand, where the gusts of wind will
erase them quickly. But when someone
does a kind deed, you have to write it on a rock, where no wind or even
hurricane can ever erase it.’ Remember always to erase bad things that happen to you, but cherish the good ones.
