A True Story

[Miss Mojo]

here's a little something i received from a friend today that i thought i would share with all of you.....

 

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all the others including Love. One day it was announced to all the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave.

 

Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve

 

the island until the last possible moment.

 

When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it

 

was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help.

 

Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, "Richness,Can I come with you on your boat?".

 

Richness answered, "Im sorry, but there is alot of gold and

 

silver on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere."

 

Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing by

 

in a beautiful vessel. Love cried out, " Vanity, please help me!"

 

"I cant help you", Vanity said, "You are all wet and will

 

damage my beautiful boat."

 

Next, Love saw sadness passing by. Love said, "Sadness,

 

please let me go with you." Sadness answered, "Im sorry Love, but I just need to be alone right now."

 

Then Love saw Happiness, Love cried out, 'Happiness, please

 

take me with you', but happiness was so overjoyed that he didnt hear Love calling him.

 

Love began to cry. Then she heard a voice say, '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 the elder. Love then asked Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that helped me?"

 

"It was time", answered Knowledge.

 

"But why did time help me when no one else would?", Love

 

asked.

 

Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great love is."

FROM POST ABOVE: "Love was the only one that stayed. SHE wanted to preserve the island until the last possible moment."

 

A great story. I copied it and have saved it on my computer. Many thanks.

 

However, everybody knows love is not female...but probably closer to Unisex...if not male. If it were surely female, it would have been first to bolt off the Island.

 

Yeah, I know.
