Friendship

Two friends

Once two friends argued, and one of them slapped another. This man felt a pain, but telling nothing and wrote on the sand:

- Today my best friend slapped me.

They continued walking and found an oasis, in which wellspring decided to swim. The one who was slapped, started to sink, but his friend saved him.

When he regained consciousness, wrote on the stone: "Today my best friend saved my life."

Another friend, who slapped and saved his friend's life, of asked him:

- When I hurt you, you wrote on the sand and now you are writing on the stone. Why?

His friend said:

- When someone hurts us, we should write it on the sand, so that the wind could erase it. But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it on the stone, so that the wind could not erase it.

Then another day came where his dad randomly said :

There was a boy, whose family was very wealthy. One day his father took him on a trip to the country, where he aimed to show his son, how poor people live. So they arrived to a farm of a very poor family, as he considered. They spend there several days. On their return, the father asked his son, did he like the trip.

„Oh, it was great, dad" - the boy replied. „Did you notice, how poor people live?". „Yeah, I did" - said the bay. The father asked his son to tell in more details about his impressions from their trip".

„Well, we have only one dog, and they have four of them. In our garden there is a pool, while they have a river, that has no end. We've got expensive lanterns, but they have stars above their heads at night. We have the patio, and they have the whole horizon. We have only a small piece of land, while they have the endless fields. We buy food, but they grow it. We have high fence for protection of our property, and they don't need it, as their friends protect them."

The father was stunned, he could not say a word.

Then the boy added: „Thank you, dad, for letting me see how poor we are."

This story shows that the true wealth as well as happiness are not measured by materials things. Love, friendship and freedom are far more valuable.
