沙子和石头

John and James were best friends. They fought for many reasons, but never gave up their friendship. They went in search of a job and visited many places to earn some money. They passed through various places, villages, towns, forests, and beaches. They supported each other throughout their journey.

约翰和詹姆斯是最好的朋友。他们为许多原因而战，但从未放弃友谊。他们一起去找工作，去了很多地方赚钱。他们经过了许多地方、村庄、城镇、森林和海滩。他们一路上互相支持。

One day, they reached a desert. They had a very little food and water. John said that they should save the food and water for later use. However, James disagreed. He wanted to drink water, as he was very thirsty. They quarrelled with each other for water. John slapped James, and they walked in silence. James wrote on the sand, “My best friend slapped me!”

一天，他们来到一片沙漠。他们只有很少的食物和水。约翰说他们应该节约食物和水以备以后使用。然而,詹姆斯不同意。他很渴，想喝水。他们为了水而争吵。约翰打了詹姆斯一巴掌，他们默默地走着。詹姆斯在沙滩上写道:“我最好的朋友打了我!”

Finally, they reached an oasis. They were very happy, and had a lot of fun in the water. While they both were bathing, James was a bit careless and began to drown. John rushed to him and saved him.

最后，他们到达了一片绿洲。他们非常高兴，在水里玩得很开心。当他们都在洗澡时，詹姆斯有点粗心大意，开始溺水。约翰冲过去救了他。

James hugged his friend and thanked him. They had a little nap and decided to leave the place. When they were about to leave, James carved something on the rock.

詹姆斯拥抱他的朋友并感谢他。他们小睡了一会儿，决定离开这个地方。他们正要离开时，詹姆斯在岩石上刻了些东西。

It was “My best friend saved my life!”

那是“我最好的朋友救了我的命!”

He said to John, “When you slapped me, I recorded it on sand. The wind would have blown it away by now. However, when you saved my life, I recorded it on rock. It will remain there forever.”

他对约翰说:“你打我的时候，我把它记在沙子上了。现在风已经把它吹走了。但是，你救了我的命，我把它录在岩石上。它将永远留在那里。”
