Once upon a time, there was an island
where all the feelings lived:
Happiness, Sadness, and all of the
others, including Love.
One day it was announced to the
feelings that the island would sink, so
all repaired their boats and left.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love
wanted to persevere until the last
possible moment.
When the island was almost sinking,
Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand
boat. Love said, "Richness, can you
take me with you?" Richness
answered, "No I can't..There is a lot
of gold and silver in my boat. There is
no place for you here."
Love decided to ask Vanity, who was
also passing by in a beautiful
vessel, "Vanity, please help me!" "I
can't help you Love. You are all wet
and might damage my boat," Vanity
answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked for
help, "Sadness let me go with
you." "Oh...Love, I am so sad that I
need to be by myself!"
Happiness passed by Love too, but she
was so happy that she did not even hear
when Love called her!
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come
Love, I will take you." It was an
elder. Love felt so blessed and
overjoyed that he even forgot to ask
the elder her name.
When they arrived at dry land, the
elder went her own way. Love, realizing
how much he owed the elder, asked
Knowledge, another elder, "Who helped
me?"
"It was Time", Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time
help me?
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and
answered, "Because only Time is capable
of understanding how great Love is."
