Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived.
\nThere, among all the others, lived Happiness, Sorrow, Knowledge, Love\u2026
\nOne day they learned that their island would sink
\nSo they all mended their boats and began to leave.
\nLove was the only one who stayed behind.
\nShe wanted to hold on until the last moment.
\nWhen the island began to sink,
\nLove began to ask for help.<\/p>\n
She saw Wealth passing by with a shiny yacht.
\nLove asked him:
\n\u201cWealth, can you take me with you?\u201d
\n\u201cNo, I cannot,\u201d answered Wealth.
\n\u201cI have silver and gold on my boat and there is no room for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then Love decided to ask for help from Arrogance
\nWho also passed before her in a very beautiful boat\u2026
\n\u201cPlease, help me,\u201d asked Love.
\n\u201cI can\u2019t help you, Love\u2026
\nYou are soaking wet and you will ruin my beautiful boat,\u201d
\nanswered Arrogance.<\/p>\n
Sorrow was a little farther off and so Love decided to ask her for help.
\n\u201cSorrow, let me come with you\u2026\u201d
\n\u201cOh Love, I am so sad that I want to stay by myself,\u201d
\nsaid Sorrow.<\/p>\n
Happiness passed in front of Love,
\nBut she also paid no attention to her.
\nShe was so happy that she didn\u2019t even hear love asking for help.<\/p>\n
Suddenly a voice was heard:
\n\u201cLove, come over here! I will take you with me!\u201d
\nIt was a very old gentleman whom Love did not recognize,
\nBut she was full of such gratitude that she forgot to ask his name.
\nWhen they reached land the gentleman left, and went on his way.
\nLove, knowing how much she owed to the gentleman who had helped her,
\nAsked Knowledge:
\n\u201cKnowledge, who helped me?\u201d
\n\u201cTime,\u201d answered Knowledge.
\n\u201cTime?\u201d asked Love. \u201cWhy did Time help me?\u201d
\nThen Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom replied:
\n\u201cOnly Time can understand the great meaning, the importance of Love\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
