WHY ARE YOU MY FRIEND ?





A story tells that two friends were talking through the desert.


In a specific point of the journey, they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one, who got slapped the other one in the face. The one, who got slapped, was hurt, but without anything to say, he 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 got slapped and hurt started drowning, and the other friend saved him. When he recoverd from the fright, he wrote on a stone: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE".


The friend who saved and slapped his best friend, asked him, "Why, after I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now you write on a stone?". The other friend smilingly replied: "When a friend hurt us, we should write it down in the sand, where the winds of forgiveness erase it away. And when something great happens, we should engrave it in the stone of the memory of the heart, where no wind can erase it".


Learn to write in the sand when you have differences and hurt feelings with your friend.

Learn to write in stone when your friend do some thing really good to you.

em là 1 trong số những new members mới vào trường. Em có câu này cũng tương tự như thế nè : "I wrote your name on a piece of paper, but accidentally I threw it away I wrote your name on my hand, but it washed away. I wrote your name in the sand, but the waves whispered it away. I wrote your name in my heart, and forever it will stay..."

Hi kuti_ngamsao, the story makes me miss my friends. noone can survive without friends. The power of life is friends. Anyway, writing ur friends' name in ur heart or in the stone is just up to you because they have a stand in you.
