The Story of Two Friends
Two good Arabian friends were travelling through the desert. Without any particular reasons, the two of them got into a quarrel. One of them slapped his friend right across the face. His friend in a fit of anger took out a stick and scribble in the sand these few words."My friend had slapped me today."
Although feeling sore about the quarrel, the two friends still moved on together.Few days later as they were travelling through the mountains, the two of them met robbers. Although still feeling sore about the quarrel, the two of them still ferociously fought to protect each other. Touched by his gesture, his friend took out his sword and engraved on the stones"My friend saved my life today."
Puzzled by his friend's actions, he asked " Why did you do that?"
His friend told him "When someone hurt me, I wrote on the sand so the wind can easily blow it away but when someone do me a good deed, I should engrave it on the stones so that it will not be easily forgotten."
