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 repaired
their boats and left.
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 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 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 his name. When they arrived at
dry land, the elder went his own way.
Love realizing how much he owed the elder
and 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."
