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
That the island was going to sink
To the bottom of the ocean...
So all these feelings alerted
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.
Afar but getting nearer, one by one passing...
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 poor Love", 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, laughing loud
that he did not hear Love calling him.
In forlorn attempt, 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,
Excited and amazed, she forgot to ask the elder's 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."
