Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness and all others including Love. One day, it was announce to all the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So, 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 underwater, 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 are lots of silver and gold on my boat and there is no room for you anywhere.” Then Love decided to ask Vanity who was passing by in a beautiful vessel, “Vanity, please help me.” “I can’t help you.” Vanity said, “You are all wet and you will damage my beautiful boat.” Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said, “Sadness 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 did not hear Love calling 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. 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 that who helped me?” “It was Time.” Knowledge answered. “But why did Time help me when no one else would?” Love asked Knowledge, so he smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity answered, “Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is.”
