A Special Gift.....

A mother gave her daughter a newly opened saving pass-book on her marriage day with a deposit of Rs.1000.
"This is a precious gift to you",she told.she said,  "Each time when both you and your husband share good things,just deposit a small amount of money according to your capacity and write the good thing in it." The daughter shared it with her husband and both thought it was a nice idea.
So each day they started sharing happy occasions,they deposited a small amount.Her first promotion,her pregnancy,his birth day and their first vocational trip abroad- all added up to their saving.this continued till the relationship soured.
The daughter went to her mother and told her about her decision to separate from her husband..The mother advised if she had finally decided to separate ,then go ahead with her plans,but before that she should spend all the money which she and her husband had deposited to some happy occasions.
The daughter thought it was a good idea and next day she went to the bank to withdraw money from her account.As she stood in the queue,she browsed through deposits made  in the passbook and the special occasion for    which they deposited.
Memories of past filled in and she started crying.She returned home and gave the passbook to her husband.He gave it back to her the next day with a new deposit of Rs 5000 and a note--"for realising how much we love each other." Their marriage was saved.
