Mother and Daughter were walking along the beach. After a while, the Daugher asked :
"How do you keep love alive ? "

The mother looked at her daughter and repiled:
"Take some sand in your hand and squeeze it hard...."

The girl did as she was told, but the harder she squeezed the sand the faster it escaped.

"But like this the sands falls out ! "

"Yes," said the mother. " Now open your hand wide..."

The girl opened her hand and the wind blew away the remaining sand.

"I can't keep it in my hand that way either ! "

" Now pick up some sand again and leave your hand half open, like a spoon..." said the mother, "Closed enough to protect it and open enough so it won't escape."

The girl tried it and saw that the sand remained in her hand, protected from the wind.

That's how you make love last...
