Jack and James were good friends .One day,they were walking through the desert(沙漠).During the journey they had a big fight,and Jack hit james in the face.James felt hurt,but he didn’t say anything.Instead( 相反),he wrote in the sand:Today my best friend hit me in the face.
They kept on walking until they found an oasis(绿洲).They decided to get some water there .Suddenly James had trouble in the water,he fell into the mire(泥潭) and was in danger.Jack saved him at once.When he felt Ok,he wrote on a stone:Today my best friend saved my life. “After I hurt you ,you wrote in the sand, and now you wrote on the stone.Why?”asked Jack.“When someone hurts us,we should write it down in the sand so that the wind of forgiveness (宽恕) can blow it away.But when someone does anything good for us,we must write it down on the stone,so no wind can blow it away.” Since then ,the two friends have never fought with each other again.
Hatred(仇恨) can bring you nothing but unhappiness .If you don’t forgive others,you are making trouble for yourself.Keep a peaceful heart all the time and remember to be always thankful to those who ahve helped you!
