两个男人在旅途中发生了争执，其中一人打了他的朋友一记耳光。被打的人很伤

心，但是没有说任何话，而是在沙地上写道：今天我最好的朋友打了我一记耳光。

他们继续前行，直到找到一片绿洲。二人随即打算在水中洗个澡。先前被打的那位

不慎陷入了泥沼，身体开始下沉，但他的朋友将他救了出来。险些淹死的他缓过神来

后，在一块石头上又写道：今天我最好的朋友救了我一命。

见此场景，那位既打了人又救了人的男人不禁问道：我伤害你后，你在沙土上写

下一句话，而现在却在石头上写，为什么呢？”

另一个人回答道：当有人伤害我们时，我们应该将此事记在沙土中，宽恕的风会将其刮得无影无踪，而当别人有恩于我们时，我们必须将其刻在石头上，即使风吹雨淋也无法将其磨灭。”
