Once upon a time, there was an island where all the "feelings" lived:
Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others including Love.
However, one day it was announced to the feelings that the island would
sink, so all the feelings prepared their boats and left. Love was the only
one who stayed. Love wanted to stay until the island started sinking. When
Love was almost sinking, he decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a beautiful boat.
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. There is no place here for you." And Richness sailed
away.
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by, "Vanity, please
help me!"
"I can't help you Love. You are all wet and can probably 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 prefer to be alone!"
Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happily day-dreaming that
she did not hear when Love called her!
Suddenly, there an elderly voice spoke, "Come Love, I will take you
in my boat."
Love was so happy to be rescued that he forgot to ask the name
of the elderly feeling. When they arrived on safe land, Love asked
Knowledge who the elderly feeling was.
"Oh, it was Time", replied Knowledge.
"Time? But why did Time stop to help me?"
"Because only Time is capable of understanding the value of Love."
