Two friends Ashley and Mark planned an outing to a beach. They started the day by playing in the water. After a while when they were tired, they came and sat on a bench and started chatting. A topic cropped up where they started arguing. It so happened that Mark slapped Ashley in the face. Ashley was very depressed with this act of Mark and wrote in the sand that "Today my best friend slapped me in my face". Then after resolving the matter they went again in the water. By then the sea went rough and as Ashley couldn't swim he lost his control and started drowning. Mark seeing his friend struggle risks his life to save his friend's life. This time Ashley carves on a stone that "Today my best friend saved my life". Mark asked him why he first wrote on the sand and now carved it on the stone. To this Ashley replied saying when someone hurts us we must write it down in sand, where wind of forgiveness can erase it away but when someone does something good for us we must engrave it on stone where no wind can ever erase it.
true friends are hard to find
