> 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'
>

>
> 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,

> WHERE NO WIND
> CAN EVER ERASE IT'
>
> LEARN TO WRITE
