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 all the feelings that the island
was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. Hence, all the feelings prepared
their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve
the island paradise until the last possible moment. When the island was almost
totally under, Love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone
to ask for help.
Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love
asked, "Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?"
Richness answered, "I'm sorry, but there is a lot of
silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere."
Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in
a beautiful vessel.
Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please."
"I can't help you", Vanity said, "You are all
wet and will damage my beautiful boat."
Next, Love saw Sadness passing by.
Love said, "Sadness, please let me go with you."
Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry, but, I just need to
be alone now."
Then, Love saw Happiness.
Love cried out, " Happiness, please take me with
you."
But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn't hear Love
calling to him. Love began to cry.
Then, she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take
you with me."
It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she
forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land the elder went on
his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder.
Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that
helped me?"
"It was Time", Knowledge answered.
"But why did Time help me when no one else
would?", Love asked.
Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity,
answered,
"Because only Time is capable of understanding how
great Love is."
