Once upon a time, there was an island where
all the feelings lived:
Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of
the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the
island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love. Love was
the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible
moment.
When the island had almost sunk, 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 here for you."
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,
"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.
So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot
to ask the elder where they were
going. When they arrived at dry land, the
elder went her own way. Realizing
how much was owed the elder, Love 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 valuable Love
is."
