Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness,
Sadness,Anger....and all the others including Love.
One day it was announced to all the feelings that the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left.
Love was the only one to stay. Love wanted to perservere 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 hailed, "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 for you here!"
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in abeautiful vessel,
"Vanity, please help me!!"
"I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my beautiful boat," Vanity responded.
Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Ohhhh....Love, I am sooo 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 out to her!
Suddenly, there was a voice. "Come, Love, I will take you." It was the voice of an elder.
Love felt so blessed and over-joyed that Love forgot to ask the elder her name.
When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Love
realized how much the elder had done and wanted to thank
her. So Love went to Knowledge, another elder, and
asked, "Do you know who helped me?"
"It was Time", Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why
did Time help me?
Knowledge
smiled.
