阿拉伯傳說中有兩個朋友在沙漠中旅行，在旅途中的某點他們吵架了，一個還給了另外一個一記耳光。被打的覺得受辱，一言不語，在沙子上寫下︰「今天我的好朋友打了我一巴掌。」
他們繼續往前走，到了沃野，決定停下。被打巴掌的差點淹死，幸好被朋友救了起來。被救起後，拿了一把小劍在石頭上刻了︰「今天我的好朋友救了我一命。」
一旁好奇的朋友問︰「為何我打了你，你要寫在沙子上，而現在要刻在石頭上呢 ？」
另一個笑一笑回答說︰「當被一個朋友傷害時，要寫在易忘的地方，風會負責抹去它；相反的如果被幫助，我們要把它刻在心靈深處，任何風都不能沫滅它。」
朋友的相處，傷害往往是無心的，幫助卻是真心的，忘記那些無心的傷害，銘記那些對你的幫助，你會發現這世上有很多真心的朋友。
如果你被感動了，把這小文寄給一些你永遠不會忘記的人，讓他知道你永遠不會忘記他。
Two friends were travelling in a desert in Arabia, at some point in time, they quarrelled and one even gave a tight slap to the other. The one who was being hit felt insulted, quietly he wrote on the sand, "My best friend gave me a slap on the face today."
As the journey continues, the two decided to stop when they reach a fertile plain. The one who was being slapped earlier on almost drowned, but was saved by his friend fortunately. He took a small sword and engraved on a stone after being rescued, "My best friend save my life today."
The friend at the side was curious, asked, "Why did you write on the sand when I hit you and now you engraved on the stone that I saved you?"
The other one said with a smile, " By writing on the sand, the wind will help to blow away whatever pain that is being brought by my friend; however, if a friend ever offered help in difficult moments, I would like to engrave it deep inside my heart so that I will remember it all the time."
Friends always hurt each other unintentionally but help each other truthfully, forget about all those unintentional pain, remember by heart on the help offered, you would find the world a much warmer place to live in.
