Two friends were out on a long mountain hike.

During their trek, the friends had an argument.

The two friends kept hiking until they found an area where the river had pooled.

They decided to stop and rest.

As they waited into the refreshing pool, the friend who had been slapped got stuck in the

mire and started drowning, but his friend saved him.

in the sand, and now you write on a stone, why?
