  被打的人感到自己受了伤害,但什么也没有说,只是在沙地上写下了这样一句话:“今天我最好的朋友掴了我耳光。”
  They kept on walking until they found an oasis 1, where they decided 2 to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire 3 and started drowning, but the friend saved him.
  他们继续前行,看见到处绿洲,他们正打算在那里洗澡时,刚才被打的人不小心陷入了泥潭,开始深陷,他的朋友救了他。

  他的朋友问:“为什么我伤你之后,你在沙子上写字,现在却把字刻在石头上?”
