My Short Story
Inilah salah satu soal
cerita yg paling ku ingat di soal ujian nasional bahasa inggrisku tahun lalu dan aku
sangat mengagumi cerita ini. Mungkinkah kalian juga mengaguminya setelah
membaca INI :
SAND AND STONE
A story tells of two friends who 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, she 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 her friend saved her. After she
recovered from the near drowning, she wrote on a stone:
"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE"
The friend, who had slapped and saved her best
friend, asked her, "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 the winds of forgiveness can
erase it, but when someone does something good for us, we must
engrave(mengukir)it in stone, so no wind can ever erase it."
LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO
CARVE YOUR BLESSINGS IN STONE.
