Once upon a time, there was an island where all
the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge,
Patient ,Understanding ,Caring and Valuable Love.
One day it was announced to the feelings that the
island would sink, and so all constructed boats will left
except for Love. Love was the only one who stayed
and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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."
