Let’s write in the sand


A story tells that two
friends, Jack and Jill, were
walking through the desert.
In a specific point of the
journey, they had an
argument, and Jack slapped
Jill in the face.
Jill, who got slapped, was hurt, but without
anything to say, he 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. Jill
started drowning and his friend saved him. When
he recovered from the fright, he wrote on a
stone: “TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE”.
Jack asked him, “why, after I hurt you, you
wrote in the sand, and now you write on a
stone?”
Jill, smiling, replied: “When a friend hurts us,
we should write it down in the sand, where the
wind of forgiveness get in charge of erasing it
away, and when something great happens, we
should engrave it in the stone of the memory of
the heart, where no wind can erase it”.
The motto: “Learn to write in the sand”.
