友谊：铭记恩惠 忘记伤害
A story goes that two friends were walking through the desert%26#46; During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face%26#46; The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote in the sand with his finger: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE%26#46;"
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath%26#46; The one, who had been slapped, got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him%26#46; After the friend recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone with a knife: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE%26#46;"
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him with surprise, "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 sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away%26#46; But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it%26#46;"

有这样一个故事：两个朋友正徒步在沙漠中旅行，途中两人发生了争执，其中一个扇了另一个人一记耳光，那位被扇的朋友很伤心，然而他一言不发地用手指在沙滩上写下了：“今天我最好的朋友扇了我一个耳光。”
他们继续往前走，终于来到了一片绿洲。他们决定洗去身上的浮尘。先前被扇耳光的那位一不小心陷入深潭之中，差点被淹死，他的朋友连忙相救。被救起后，他用一把小刀在石头上刻下了：“今天我最好的朋友救了我一命。”
先前打他耳光，后来又救了他的这位朋友好奇地问：“为什么我打了你以后，你写在沙滩上，而现在却刻在石头上呢？”
朋友回答道：“当受到伤害时，要写在沙滩上，让风来吹散它、抚平它；而受到的恩惠则必须刻在石头上，任何风都不能抹灭它！”
