3. Once upon a time there was an island on the Earth, where all the spiritual values lived. But one day they noticed their Island sinking (going down). All the values boarded their ships and sailed away. The only one who stayed on the Island was Love. She was waiting to the last, but when there was nothing to wait for, she wanted to leave as well.
Then she called Wealth and asked to sail with him. But Wealth replied:
- My ship is full of gold and jewels, there is no place for you.
When Sorrow was passing by, Love asked to take her aboard. But Sorrow answered:
- I’m so sad, that I need to be always alone.
When Love saw Pride’s ship and asked her for help, Pride answered that Love would break harmony on her ship. When Joy was passing by, she enjoyed herself so much that even didn’t notice Love. Then Love despaired deeply.
But at that time she heard a voice somewhere behind:
- Let’s go, Love. I will take you aboard.
Love turned back and saw an old man. He carried her to land, and when the old man left, Love remembered suddenly, that she had forgotten to ask his name.
Then she turned to Knowledge:
- Tell me, Knowledge, who saved me? Who was that old man?
Knowledge glanced at Love:
- It was Time.
- Time? But why has he saved me?
Knowledge glanced at Love once more, and then looked into the distance, where the old man disappeared.
