Sand And Stone

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 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."



LEARN TO WRITE 

YOUR HURTS IN

THE SAND AND TO

CARVE YOUR

BENEFITS IN STONE. 



THEY SAY IT TAKES A

MINUTE TO FIND A SPECIAL 

PERSON, AN HOUR TO 

APPRECIATE THEM, A DAY 

TO LOVE THEM,! BUT THEN 

AN ENTIRE LIFE 

TO FORGET THEM. 



SEND THIS TO 
THE
PEOPLE YOU'LL NEVER 

FORGET.

I JUST DID.



IF YOU DON'T 

SEND IT TO ANYONE,

IT MEANS YOU'RE IN A 

HURRY AND THAT YOU'VE 

FORGOTTEN YOUR FRIENDS. 


TAKE THE TIME TO LIVE! 



DO NOT VALUE THE THINGS 

YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE, BUT VALUE 

WHO YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE ! 

AND IF I HAPPEN TO GET IT BACK, 

THEN I KNOW MY PLACE IN YOUR LIFE
