The Sand and the Sieve refers to Montag's childhood memory of trying to fill a sieve with sand. It also symbolizes Montag trying to take in the knowledge from The Bible he is reading. Montag tried to read the Bible, to understand it. He didn't understand it so he sped up and read more and more, hoping to fill his brain with the knowledge. His brain is like a sieve, and the sand in the knowledge from the book. The more he takes in, the more falls through the "sieve".

Montag meets Faber on page 77 in Ray Bradbury's novel "Fahrenheit 451."
he mentions his experience on the beach with the sieve and the sand because later on as faber is talking to montag. while he is on the train, montag is reading the words on the page over and over again because they are not staying in his head. the words are the sand and the sieve is his brain(memory maybe). his current problem? there are quite a few in the novel so you might have to be a little more specific with that one. :)
