[color=#000][font=宋体][size=4]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.[/size][/font][/color][size=4]
[color=#000][font=宋体]Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]"Richness, can you take me with you?"[/font][/color][/size]
[size=4]
[color=#000][font=宋体]Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.[/font][/color][/size]
[size=4]
[color=#000][font=宋体]Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"[/font][/color][/size]
[size=4]
[color=#000][font=宋体]Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.[/font][/color][/size]
[size=4]
[color=#000][font=宋体]Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Lov[/font][/color][font=宋体]e even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,[/font][/size]
[size=4][color=#000][font=宋体]Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]"It was Time," Knowledge answered.[/font][/color][/size]
[size=4]
[color=#000][font=宋体]"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"[/font][/color][/size]
[size=4]
[color=#000][font=宋体]Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."[/font][/color][/size]

[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000][font=宋体]爱和时间[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]从前有一个岛，所有的情感都住在那里：幸福、悲伤、知识和所有其它的，爱也不例外。一天，所有的情感听说小岛即将沉没，因此建造小船，纷纷离开，除了爱。[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]爱是唯一留下来的，因为它希望能坚持到最后一刻。[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]小岛即将沉没了，爱决定请求帮助。[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]富有驾着一艘大船从爱身边经过，爱说，[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]“富有，你能带上我么？”[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]富有回答说：“不行，我的船上载满金银财宝，没有你的地方。”[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]虚荣坐在漂亮的小船中从爱身边驶过，爱问：“虚荣，你能帮助我么？”[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]虚荣说：“不行，你全身湿透，会弄脏我的船。”[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]悲伤的船靠近了，爱问：“悲伤，请带我走吧。”[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]“哦。。。爱，我太难过了，想一个人呆着。”[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]幸福经过爱的身边，它太开心了，根本没听见爱在呼唤。[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]突然，一个声音喊道：“来，爱，我带你走。” 声音来自“年老”。爱太高兴了，甚至忘了问他们即将去何方。当他们来到岸上，年老自己离开了。爱突然意识到“年老”给了它多大的帮助。[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]于是，爱问另一位老者--知识：“谁帮助了我？”[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]知识说：“是时间。”[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]“时间？”爱问：“但是时间为什么帮助我？”[/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=宋体]知识睿智地微笑道：“因为只有时间了解爱的价值。”[/font][/color]
