The Island of Feelings

The island where feelings like Happiness, Sadness, and Love lived was sinking. All feelings built boats and left the island except for Love, who wanted to stay until the last moment. When almost all land was gone, Love asked other feelings like Richness, Vanity, and Sadness for help, but they all refused. Finally, an elder named Time came and rescued Love, bringing them to safety on dry land. When Love asked Knowledge who helped, Knowledge replied it was Time, because only Time is able to truly understand the importance and power of Love.

THE ISLAND OF FEELINGS

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, 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 beautiful vessel. “Vanity, please
help me!”
“I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat,” Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you.”
”Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I want to be alone!”
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so 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 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 she was greatly
indebted to him, 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 great Love is.”
