Once upon a time, there was an island where all the
feelings lived; Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all 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 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, 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."
