Love Perseveres

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 prepaired their boats and left. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment. And when the island was almost sinking, 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 for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beutiful vessel, "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat" Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh... Love, I am so sad and I need to be by myself."
Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called for her!
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come Love, I will take you." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the elder her name.
When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Love, realizing how much he owed the elder, asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge replied.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. NIV 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
