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."
Thus Time Understands Love
