Love and Time

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived. There were happines, sadness, knowledge, and all of the others, including love. One day, it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for love.

     Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment when the island had  almost sunk, love decided to ask for help.

     Richness was passing by love in a grand 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.”

     Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautyful vessel. “Vanity, please help me !”. “I can’t help you love. You are all wet and might demage my boat”, vanity answered. Sadness was close by love by so love asked, “Sadness, let me go wih you ?”. “Oh love, I am so sad that I need to be my self !”. Happines passed by love too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when love called her.

     Suddenly, there was a a voice, “Come love, I will take you”. It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went his own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder. Love asked knowledge, another elder, “Who helped me ?”. “It was time”, knowledge answered.

     “Time ?” asked love. “But why did time help me ?” knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, “Because only time is capable of understanding how valuabble love is”
