A Great Love
Author Unknown
Once upon a time,
* There was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Vanity, Knowledge, Richness and Love.
* Theirs was a contented existence until one day to everyone's dismay it was discovered that the island was sinking. Everyone was told they must leave. So the feelings all prepared their boats and started leaving their beloved island.
Love was the only one who stayed, behind. Love so cared for the island home that he wanted to stay until they were sure the island was really sinking.
When Love realized that the island was finally sinking, he decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a beautiful boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There are a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no room in here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by, "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you Love.
