Once upon a time there was an island where all
the feelings lived; Happiness, Sadness,
Knowledge, and all the others......, including Love.
One day it was announced to all of 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 until the last
possible moment. When the island was almost
totally under, 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 is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and
there would be no room for you."
Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was
passing in a beautiful vessel. Love cried
out, "Vanity, help me please." I can't help you",
Vanity said, "You are all wet and will damage my
beautiful boat."
Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love
said, "Sadness, please 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 didn't hear
Love calling to 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. When 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
it that helped me?" "It was Time", Knowledge
answered. "But why did Time help me when no
one else would?", Love asked. Knowledge smiled
and with deep wisdom and sincerity,
answered, "Because only Time is capable of
understanding how great Love is."
