永 远 的 朋 友 阿拉伯传说中有两个朋友在沙漠中旅行，在旅途中的某点他们吵架了，一个还给了另外一个一记耳光。被打的觉得受辱，一言不语，在沙子上写下： "今天我的好朋友打了我一巴掌。 " 他们继续往前走。直到到了沃野，他们就决定停下。被打巴掌的那位差点淹死，幸好被朋友救起来了。被救起後，他拿了一把小剑在石头上刻了： "今天我的好朋友救了我一命。 "一旁好奇的朋友问说：为什麽我打了你以後，你要写在沙子上，而现在要刻在石头上呢？另个笑笑的回答说：当被一个朋友伤害时，要写在易忘的地方，风会负责抹去它；相反的如果被帮助，我们要把它刻在心里的深处，那里任何风都不能抹灭它。朋友的相处伤害往往是无心的，帮助却是真心的，忘记那些无心的伤害；铭记那些对你真心帮助，你会发现这世上你有很多真心的朋友 ...

“A friend in need is a friend indeed.”患难见真情

“All the splendor in the world is not worth a good friend.” (Voltaire). 人世间所有的荣华富贵不如一个好朋友。
