Two Fables

Author Unknown

Sand and Stone

1 Two friends were walking through the desert. At some point in 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.”

 

2 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 the friend recovered from nearly drowning, he wrote on a stone: “Today my best friend saved my life.”

 

3 The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, but now you write on a stone. Why?”

 

4 The other friend replied: “When someone hurts us, we should write it in sand, where the winds of forgiveness can erase it from view. But, when someone does something good for us, we should engrave it in stone, where no wind can ever remove it.”

 

The Ship of Friendship

5 A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island.

 

6 The two survivors, who were good friends, not knowing what else to do, agreed that they had no other recourse but to pray to God. However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.

 

7 The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man’s parcel of land remained barren.

 

8 After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked, and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island, there was nothing.

 

9 Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.

 

10 Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the island. The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island.

 

11 He considered the other man unworthy to receive God’s blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered.

 

12 As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from heaven booming, “Why are you leaving your companion on the island?”

 

13 “My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them,” the first man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered and so he does not deserve anything.”

 

14 “You are mistaken!” the voice rebuked him. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings.”

 

15 “Tell me,” the first man asked the voice, “What did he pray for that I should owe him anything?”

 

16 “He prayed that all your prayers be answered.”
