The Story of Love and Time




Once upon a time, in an island  lived all the feelings; Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, riches and all others, including Love. One day,there was a news outbreak that the island would sink, so all the feelings constructed boats and left. Except for Love who tend to stay behind to ensure the safe departure of others.

 Love decided to hold out until the last possible moment. When the island had almost sunk and every of his colleague had safely gone,he decided to ask for help.

Soon wealth was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, “wealth, can you take me with you?”

but he answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”

Anger was close by so Love asked, “Anger, let me go with you.” “Oh . . . Love, can't you see that i am so angry that I need to be by myself!”  Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. “Vanity, please help me!” “I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat,” Vanity answered.


Happiness too passed by Love, but  was so busy happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder.
So relieved 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, his colleague who had earlier arrived before him, “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 valuable Love is.
