| Once upon a time, there was an island on which all the feelings were living. Joy, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the rest, without, naturally, the absence of |
| Love . One day like all the others, the feelings were notified that the island was going to sink, so one after the other they built ships and sailed away. |
| All left except Love. Love was the only one who stayed behind. She decided to wait and wait until the last moment. When the island had nearly |
| completely sunk, Love decided it was time to ask for help. At that time, she saw Rich sailing past on a big ship. So, Love said: "Rich can you take me |
| with you" Rich answered: "No, I can''t. The gold and silver I have with me occupies all the space on the ship and there is no room for you." Love decided |
| to ask Vanity who just showed up on a very beautiful vessel. "Vanity help me I beg of you" But my Love you are soaked! How can I have you on my |
| boat, you will ruin it!" replied Vanity. Sadness was also nearby so love said to her. "Sadness let me come with you "Oh my love I am so sad I need to be |
| alone". Joy went past Love but she was so happy, she could not hear Love who was calling out at her. Suddenly a voice was heard! "Come on Love, |
| come with me." Turning around Love saw an old woman. Love in her happy excitement and her great luck forgot to ask the old woman where they were |
| going. When, at last, they set foot on shore, the old woman continued on her way. Love realised how much she owed to the old woman, so she asked |
| Knowledge, another old woman: "Who helped me?" "it was Time" replied Knowledge. "Time?" asked Love. "But why did he help me?" So, Knowledge |
| smiling wisely responded: "Because only Time can understand the value of Love." | | | | | | | |
