I was just surfing the web and stumbled upon this story.......

LEARN TO WRITE IN THE SAND

Two friends were walking through the desert.
In a specific point in the journey, they had an argument, and Friend One slapped Friend Two in
the face. Friend Two 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 relax in the cool water. Friend Two started drowning, and Friend One pulled him from the water and saved him. When he recovered from the fright, Friend Two wrote on a stone:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

Friend One asked Friend Two, "Why, after I hurt you, did you write in the sand, and now you write on a stone?" Friend Two, smiling, replied, "When a friend hurts us, we should write it down in the sand,
where the winds of forgiveness can erase it; when something great happens, we should engrave it in the stone of the memory of the heart, where no wind can erase it."

this story is the nicest thing
I reminds us that no one is perfect and friends will always be there when needed, and when they do mess up the best thing is forgiveness

I received that mail from friends

Aww, that's a sweet story

Oooooh, a story with a meaning

its a shame about the main characters names, not much thought there

and getting slapped..... did this come from burly by any chance?

I LOVE the names.

course it didnt come from b, you got it from the net silly me

never read that story before...and now i feel all enlightened. seriously, that puts a good look on things from my perspective...

nice story...very deep..

i wouldnt call it deep, but a feel good story

...nice story....*is happy*

is you people are being sarcastic

i dont think so...im bein seriuos any ways. *instinctively winces...* dont hurt me

i liked it, dunno about the rest

Meh, its okay.

It needs a drinking session sub-story and maybe a fight scene to make it truly great.

does the slap count for nothing

erm...if you want it to...

Make it a knee to the crotch and lets leave it at that.

But how can we get the alcohol angle in there?.....

they must have been drunk to come up with the theory at the end

no kiddin...wtf kinda ending is that?

I love it!

Marvellous, another triumph!

now to get our version published

It'll be next years big box office hit, I stake my reputation on it.

who's gonna direct I will star as the violent friend

can i star as the rock? please?

only if we can carve sumthing in you

Hmm.... I dont think theres room for many characters, is there?

oh fine, go ahead

*takes out knife* which reminds me it didnt mention what they carved with

i think its safe to assume, whatever it was, it harmed the rock a lot

most definately

and if it didnt it will now

yeah, directors decisions.....

*shudders in rock costume* i quit!

we dont need you! We'll get a real rock!

yes we will and he'll act better than you ever can

silly spear

A rock? You dare replace me with a rock? *goes off to mope*

Very nice story. Kinda makes you think.
Very good

*wipes tears* that was touching, i needed that!

*hands TH a hanky*

if i may quote the brak show... "Where's the violence? Where's the blood spray?" the ending is still f-ed up though
