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 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 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,l 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 to the elder,
Love asked Knowledge another elder, “Who helped?”
“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.
