沙子和石頭Sand and Stone

The story goes that two friends were walkingthrough the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, andone friend slapped the other one in the face.

兩個朋友結伴穿越沙漠，旅途中二人突然吵了起來，其中一個摑了對方一記耳光。

The one who got slapped felt hurt, but withoutsaying anything, wrote in the sand: Today my best friend slapped me in theface.

被打的人感到自己受了傷害，但什麼也沒有說，只是在沙地上寫下了這樣一句話：“今天我最好的朋友摑了我耳光。”

They kept on walking until they found an oasis,where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck inthe mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.

他們繼續前行，看見到處綠洲，他們正打算在那裏洗澡時，剛纔被打的人不小心陷入了泥潭，開始深陷，他的朋友救了他。

After he recovered from the near drowning, hewrote on a stone: quot;Today my best friend saved my life.

等他從幾近淹死的邊緣甦醒過來後，他在石頭上刻下：“今天我最好的朋友救了我的命。”

The friend who had slapped and saved his bestfriend asked him, after I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write ona stone. Why?

他的朋友問：“爲什麼我傷你之後，你在沙子上寫字，現在卻把字刻在石頭上？”

The other friend replied: quot; when someone hurtsus we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase itaway. But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stonewhere no wind can ever erase it.

他回答道：“當有人傷害了我們，我們應該把它寫進沙裏，寬恕的風會把仇恨抹去。而當有人爲我們做了好事，我們應當把它刻在石頭上，沒有風可以將它抹去。”

PS: 學會寬容，寬容是一種美德；學會感恩，纔會更懂得珍惜生命中的一切。“當有人傷害了我們，我們應該把它寫進沙裏，寬恕的風會把仇恨抹去。而當有人爲我們做了好事，我們應當把它刻在石頭上，沒有風可以將它抹去。”
