Adversity tries friends
.عند الشـدائــد تعـــرف الأصــدقـــاء
A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert.
During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one
friend slapped the other one in the face.The one who got slapped
was hurt,but without saying anything, 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. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire
and started drowning, but the friend saved him.After he recovered
from the near; drowning, he wrote on a stone:
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked
him,"After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on
a stone,why?" The other friend replied "When someone hurts us
we should write it down in sand where winds
of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does
something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind
can ever erase it."
A friend in need is a friend indeed>>>>الصديق وقت الضيق
one
day, two friends were walking through the woods. Suddenly, they heard a loud noise behind them. They stopped and turned around to see what it was.
“It’s a bear!” cried one man.
He did not think about his friend, but instead quickly ran to the nearest tree. He climbed up to the highest branch.
The other man was slower, and he suddenly found himself alone with the bear near him. He quickly lay down with his face to the ground and didn’t move. He pretended to be dead, because he was once told that a bear would not eat a dead body.
The bear came closer to the man. He walked all around him, then stopped and lowered his head close to the man’s ear. After a few minutes, the bear went away.
The “dead” man then sat up, and his friend came down from the tree.
“What did the bear say to you?” asked his friend jokingly.
The “dead” man thought about it, and answered, “The bear told me to find a better friend than one who runs away when there is trouble.”
