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 all constructed boats and
left. Except for LOVE.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to
hold out until the last possible moment.
When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to
ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand 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 in a beautiful vessel.
"Vanity, please help me!""I can't help you, Love.
You are all wet and might damage my boat,"
Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness,
let me go with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so 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
her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will
take you." It was an elder. So blessed and
overjoyed,
Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were
going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder
went her own way.

Realizing how much was owed the elder,
Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who
helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and
answered,

"Because only Time is capable of understanding
how valuable Love is."

so true.

Thanks.
