Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge and all the others, including Love lived on an island. One day they were told the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean, so all the feelings prepared their boats to survive.
Love was the last to leave. Just then Richness was passing by. Love asked, “Can I come with you on your boat? ” “I’m sorry, but it is full of gold, ” answered Richness, “there would be no room for you anywhere.”
Then Love decided to ask Vanity（虚荣）for help. “I can’t help you. You’re all wet and will damage my beautiful boat, ”Vanity replied.
Next Love saw Sadness going by. “Please let me go with you.”Sadness answered, “Love, I’m sorry, but I just need to be alone now.”
Then Love saw Happiness, he shouted for help. But Happiness was too overjoyed to hear her. Love began to cry. Just then, she heard a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you with me.” It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land, the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed（亏欠）the elder.
Later she asked Knowledge, “Who was it that helped me? ” “It was Time.” Knowledge said. “But why did Time help me when no one else would? ”Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom（智慧）, answered, “Because only Time is able to understand how great Love is!”
