Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Knowledge, Happiness, Sadness, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announce to the feelings that the island would sink. So, all prepared their boats and left; except Love, who wanted to preserve until the last possible moment. When the island began sinking, Love had 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. I need to be by myself," Sadness answered. Happiness passed by Love too; she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called out to her!

Suddenly, there was a voice: "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she even forgot to ask the elder his name. When they came to dry land, the elder went on his own way.

Love realized how much she owed the elder and 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."
