TIME WILL TELL

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others, including love.

One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment. When the island was almost totally sunk, Love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help.

Right then Wealth was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, "Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?" Wealth answered, " I'm sorry, but there are a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere."

Then, Love asked Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel.
Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please!"
"I can't help you", Vanity said, "You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat."

Next, Love saw Sadness passing by.
Love asked, "Sadness, can I go with you?"
Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry, but, I just need to be alone now."

Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out, " Happiness, please take me with you!"
But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn't hear Love calling to him. Love began to cry.
Then, she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take you with me." It was from an elderly person with beautiful white hair. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask what is his name. When they arrived on land he went on his way. Love realised how much she owed the unknown helper.
Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that helped me?"
"It was Time", Knowledge answered.
"But why did Time help me when no one else would?", Love asked.

Knowledge smiled and answered "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."
