Best Friend Story – Having a Best Friend

There are two friends in the city. They have been in a friendship for almost eight years and are cooperative with each other. One day, they planned to go on a vacation to a beach and enjoy themselves. The next day, they started their journey. The journey went quite well, and they reached their destination.

While they were on the way to the beach, the friends had an argument about something, and one of them slapped the other in the face. The young boy who got slapped was hurt and did not say anything at that moment. After they reached the beach point, he wrote this on the sand on the seashore, “Today, my best friend has slapped me”.

After a few minutes, they enjoyed the climate at that place and spent the time happily. Later, they wanted to enter inside the water and swim. They moved forward into the sea for the same and started swimming. Meanwhile, the one who got hurt before was drowning, and he could not swim. His friend noticed the situation, saved, and brought him to the seashore. Everything was alright.

Now, the one who got saved went to a stone nearby and wrote like this, “Today, my best friend has saved my life”.

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend questioned him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now, you wrote on a stone, why?” The other friend said, “When someone hurts us, we should write it down in the sand where waves of forgiveness can erase it. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it on the stone where no wind or wave can ever erase it.” The other boy felt happy about the words and said, “The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it”.

Both of them realized their love & affection for each other and went back home safely. They were best friends for the rest of their lives.

Moral of The Best Friend Story

Value the people you have in your life rather than the things you love. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
