Once
upon a time there was an island
upon which lived all manner of feelings:
Happiness,
Sadness, Kindness, Knowledge Vanity,
Richness, and all the others including
Love.
One
day it was announced to the feelings
that the island would sink,
so all prepared their boats and
left.
Love was the only one who stayed.
|
 |
Love wanted to persevere
until the last possible moment.
When the island
was almost sinking, Love decided
to ask for help.
|
|
Richness was passing
by Love in a grand boat. Love said,
"Richness, can't you take me with
you?"
Richness answered,
"No, I can't. There is a much gold
and silver in my boat ... and there
is no place there for you."
|
|
 |
Love decided to
ask Vanity who was passing by in
a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please
help me!"
"I cannot help you,
Love. You are all wet and might
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 need to be by myself."
|
|
|
|
Happiness passed
by Love too, but she was so happy
that she did not hear when Love
called her!
|
|
Suddenly, there
was a voice, "Come Love. I will
take you." It was an elder of Love.
Love felt so blessed and overjoyed
that he even forgot to ask the elder
her name ...
When they arrived at dry land,
the elder went her own way.
|
|
|
|
Love, realizing
how much he owed the elder 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 with time and wisdom are you
capable of understanding how great
love is.
