[00:16.12]One day it was announced to the feelings [00:19.39]that the island would sink, [00:20.71]so all constructed boats and left. [00:23.02]Except for Love. [00:24.76]Love was the only one who stayed. [00:27.18]Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. [00:31.54]When the island had almost sunk, [00:33.85]Love decided to ask for help. [00:36.24]Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. [00:40.72]Love said, [00:42.37]"Richness, can you take me with you?" [00:44.98]Richness answered, [00:46.85]"No, I can’t. [00:49.05]There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. [00:51.99]There is no place here for you." [00:53.97]Love decided to ask Vanity [00:57.14]who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. [01:00.29]"Vanity, please help me!" [01:01.62]"I can’t help you, Love. [01:04.36]You are all wet and might damage my boat," [01:07.31]Vanity answered. [01:08.95]Sadness was close by so Love asked, [01:12.56]"Sadness, let me go with you." [01:15.50]"Oh . . . Love, [01:17.36]I am so sad that I need to be by myself!" [01:21.41]Happiness passed by Love, too, [01:24.05]but she was so happy that she did not even hear [01:27.21]when Love called her. [01:28.31]Suddenly, there was a voice, [01:30.26]"Come, Love, I will take you." [01:33.67]It was an elder. [01:35.09]So blessed and overjoyed, [01:37.49]Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. [01:40.98]When they arrived at dry land, [01:43.29]the elder went her own way. [01:45.16]Realizing how much was owed the elder, [01:47.99]Love asked Knowledge, [01:49.64]another elder, [01:50.83]"Who helped me?" [01:52.47]"It was Time," [01:54.01]Knowledge answered. [01:55.66]"Time?" asked Love. [01:57.72]"But why did Time help me?" [02:00.36]Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, [02:03.96]"Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is." |
