Once upon a time,there was an island. All the feelings lived in the island:Happiness,Sadness,Richness,Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink,so they 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.”
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. After they arrived at dry land,the elder went her own way. Realizing how much she owed the elder,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 valuable Love is.”
以前,有个岛屿。所有的情感都住在岛上:幸福,悲伤,富有,智慧,还有其他的,其中也包括爱。一天,情感们得知岛屿要下沉,因此他们造了船要离开,除了智慧。
“爱”是唯一留下的。她想坚持到最后一刻。岛屿快要完全沉没的时候,爱决定要寻求帮助。富有乘坐一搜豪华轮船经过爱,爱说,“富有,你能带走吗?”富有回答,“不,不行,船上有很多金银,没有地方了。”
突然,一个声音说道,“过来,爱,我带你走。”这是一位老者。爱非常感激,也非常高兴,她甚至忘了问老者他们要去哪里。他们到了干涸的陆地之后,老者就独自前行了。爱意识到她非常感激老者,便问智慧,另一位老者,“谁帮了我?
“时间。”智慧说。
“时间?”爱问,“时间为什么帮我?”
智慧意味深长的笑着回答,“因为只有时间才能明白爱的价值。”
