The story goes that two friends are walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they have an argument, and one friend slap the other one in the face.

話說兩個好朋友正在穿越一個沙漠。途中他們忽然爭吵了起來，其中一個一巴掌扇在另外一個人的臉上。

The one is hurt, but without saying anything, he writes in the sand: "Today my best friend slaps me in the face."

被扇的那個人受了傷害，但他一句話也沒有說，只是在沙子上寫道：“今天我最要好的朋友打了我一個耳光。”

They keep on walking until they find an oasis and they decide to take a bath. The one who has been slapped gets stuck(被卡在) in the mire and starts drowning, but the friend saves him.

他們繼續走下去，后來發現了一片綠洲，他們于是決定洗個澡。先前被打的那個人這時不小心陷入了一個泥潭里面，差點被淹死了，幸運的是他的朋友把他給救了出來。

After he recovers from the near drowning, he writes on a stone: "Today my best friend saves my life."

他蘇醒過來后，立刻在一塊石頭上寫道：“今天我最要好的朋友救了我一命。”

His friend askes him, "After I hurt you, you write in the sand and now you write on a stone. Why?"

他的朋友于是問他說：“我打了你之后你在沙子上寫字，而現在你卻在石頭上寫，為什么呢?”

He replies: "When someone hurts us we should write it down in the sand, the winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave(雕刻，銘記) it in a stone，therefore，no wind can ever erase it."

寫字的那個人回答說：“當我們被別人傷害了之后，我們應該把它寫在沙子上，那樣，寬容的風就很快就會將其抹去，但當我們受到別人的幫助之后，我們必須將它刻在石頭上，那樣，風就不會輕易把它磨滅?！?/p>

Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your benefits on the stone.
