對真心朋友的態度
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。"
There is an Arabic legend, in which two friends are walking in the desert.
They quarrel on the way, and one of them slaps the other on the face. The
slapped feels humiliated, speechless, and writes on the sand: 'my good friend
slapped me on the face today.'
他們繼續往前走。直到到了沃野，他們就決定停下。
被打巴掌的那位差點淹死，幸好被朋友救起來了。
被救起後，他拿了一把小劍在石頭上刻了：
"今天我的好朋友救了我一命。"
They keep walking on the sand until they reach a swamp, and they decide to
stop for a while. The slapped is nearly drowned, and is saved by the friend.
He then picks up a dragger and carves on a stone: 'my good friend saved my
life today.'
一旁好奇的朋友問說：
為什麼我打了你以後，你要寫在沙子上，
而現在要刻在石頭上呢？
The friend sees this and asks with curiosity, 'Why do you write on the sand
when I hit you, and now you carve on the stone?'
另個笑笑的回答說：
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，
我們要把它刻在心裡的深處，那裡任何風都不能抹滅它。
The other answers with a smile: 'When our friend hurts us, we should write
it down in a place where it can be easily forgotten. The wind will ripe it
out. On the contrary, if we get help, we should carve it deep in our hearts,
where the strongest wind cannot erase it.'
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； 銘記那些對你真心幫助，
你會發現這世上你有很多真心的朋友...
Wounds among friends are usually made unintentionally, but helps are given
from the heart. If we forget about the wounds made carelessly, and engrave
the sincere helps, you'll find that you've got a lot of true friends ..
朋友呀！當你看到這裡，你感受到什麼？
在日常生活中，就算最要好的朋友也會有磨擦，
我們也許因這些磨擦而分開。
但每當夜闌人靜時，我們望向星空，總會看到過去的美好回憶。
不知為何，一些鎖碎的回憶，卻為我寂寞的心靈帶來無限的震撼！
就是這感覺，令我更明白你對我的重要！
在此，我希望你能更珍惜你的朋友。
My friends, how do you feel when you read up to this? Even the best friends
have frictions in daily life, and those frictions will make us part
sometimes. But whenever we look up to the starry sky in a silent night, we'll
see the past and pleasant memories. I don't know why, but it's those trivial
memories that trigger the strongest vibrations in my deepest heart! It is
that feeling that makes me realize how important you're to me! It's here,
that I wish you can treasure your friends.
Please have good care for your good friend.
請珍惜你身邊的好朋友！
