Once
upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings
lived:
Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge and all of the
others including Love.
However, one day it was announced to the couples
that the island would sink, so all the feelings prepared
their boats and left. Love was the only one who stayed.
Love
wanted to stay until the island started
sinking.
When Love was almost sinking, he decided to ask
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 cant 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
elderly. Love became very happy that he even
forgot to ask the name of the elderly.
When they arrived to the other side, Love asked
Knowledge who was the elderly. "It was
Time."
"Time? But why did Time help me?"
"Because only Time is capable of
understanding such a great Love."
