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
constructed their boats and left
the island, except 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 cant.
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 cant 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.
