Sand and Stone

1font00I've got this story by e-mail so I want to share it with you. This story tells about two friends that were walking through the desert. At one point during the trip, they started arguing and one of the friends hit the other in the face. The one that had been hit was hurt, but without a further word, wrote down in the sand "Today my best friend hit me in the face."00 00They carried on walking until they came across an oasis, where they decided to freshen up and bath. But the one that had been hit before got caught in the mud and was about to drown, but the friend saved him. After he had recovered, he wrote down on a stone "Today my best friend saved my life." The friend that had hit his best friend and then saved him asked "After I hit you, you wrote in the sand and now you are writing on stone, why? The other friend answered "When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand so that the wind can forgive us by blowing it away. But when someone does something nice for us, we should engrave it in stone, where no wind can ever blow it away."02font02br

01font00Learn to write down your pain in sand and engrave the good experience in stone. And as wised man said it takes a minute to find someone special, an hour to appreciate them, a day to get to like and love them, but it takes a lifetime to forget them.02font02br

0 That is the most wonderful story i have ever read, and in this forum I would like to engrave someone like Clive, Grammar Geek, Nona The Brit, Marius Hancu and so on in stone cuz they help us out to understand English grammar and English vocabularies and idioms as well. So we should have more people like someone who I mentioned here in order to carve in stone and as the wised man said it takes
