The Story of Love
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 they all repaired their boats and left.
Love was the only one who stayed.
Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment.
When the island was almost sinking, 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 for help. "Sadness, let me go with
you."
"Oh...Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
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.
Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the elder
her name.
When they arrived on dry land, the elder went her own way.
Love realizing how much he owed the elder 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." |
