Mum walks into the bedroom to find her daughter in fits of
tears.
“Oh mum, it’s so unfair. Yesterday, Derek said he’d buy me a
diamond ring if I stayed the night with him. So I did, but all
he bought was a cheap trinket.”
“My darling,” says Mum. “Always remember this and you
won’t fall into the trap again. When they’re hard they’re soft
and when they’re soft, they’re hard.”
