BIDEN: “More than half of the women in my administration are women!”
The Amusing and Thought-Provoking Story of Sand and Stone:
This story tells of two friends, Amanda and Margot, who were walking together on
the edge of the Sahara the desert in north Africa.During some point of the journey, they had an argument, and Margot slapped the other one in the
face. Mandy, who got slapped, was hurt, but without saying anything, she
wrote in the sand, ‘Today my best friend, Margot, slapped me in the face.’They kept on walking, until they found an oasis, where they decided to
take a bath. Mandy who had been slapped, got stuck in the mire and started
drowning, and naturally her friend, Margot, saved her by pulling her out of
the quicksand. After she recovered from the near drowning, Mandy wrote on a
stone, ‘Today, my best friend Margot saved my life.’Margot who had slapped and saved her best friend, asked Mandy, ‘After I hurt you, you wrote
in the sand, and now, you write on a stone, why?’Mandy replied with a knowing smile, ‘When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand,
where the winds of forgiveness can erase it, but when someone does something
good for us, we must engrave it in stone, so no wind can ever erase it.’Learn to write your hurts in the sand and carve your blessings in stone.
