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 they all prepared their boats and left.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to stay until it started
sinking. When Love was almost sinking, he decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a
beautiful 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, “Vanity, please help me!”
“I can’t help you Love. You are all
wet and can probably 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 prefer
to go alone!”
Happiness passed by Love too, but
she was so happy that she did not listen when Love called her!
Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come
Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. Love became so happy that he
even forgot to ask the elder her name. When they arrived at dry land, the
elder went on her own way.
Love asked Knowledge, another elder,
the name of the elder who had helped him. “It was Time,” answered
Knowledge.
“Time? But why did Time help me?”
asked Love.
“Because only Time is capable of
understanding how great Love is,” answered Knowledge.
