Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, including Love. Others also lived there:Knowledge, Richness, Vanity （虚荣） and so on. One day it was announced to them that the island would sink（沉没）, so all constructed（建造）boats and left. Except for Love.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.
When the island had almost sunk, 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 here for you.”
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful 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, “Sadness, let me go with you.”
“Oh ... Love, I am so sad that 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 her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed（极高兴）, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way.
Realizing how much was owed the elder，Love asked Knowledge, another
elder, “Who helped me?”
“It was Time,” Knowledge answered.
“Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?”
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom（智慧）and answered, “Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is.”
从前有一个岛，所有的情感都住在那里：幸福、悲伤，也包括爱。其他人也住在这个岛上:知识、富有、虚荣等等。一天，他们听说小岛即将沉没，因此各自建造小船，纷纷离开，除了爱。
爱是唯一留下来的，因为她希望能坚持到最后一刻。
小岛即将沉没了，爱决定请求帮助。
富有驾着一艘大船从爱身边经过。爱说:“富有，你能带上我么？”
富有回答说：“不行，我的船上载满金银财宝，没有你的地方。”
爱决定去请求虚荣，她正坐在漂亮的小船中从爱身边驶过，爱说：“虚荣，你帮帮我吧！”
虚荣说：“我不能帮你，爱，你全身都湿透了，会弄脏我的船。”
悲伤坐的船靠近了，爱问：“悲伤，请带我走吧。”
“哦……爱，我太难过了，想一个人呆着！”
幸福也经过爱的身边，但她太开心了，根本没听见爱在呼唤。
突然，一个声音喊道：“来，爱，我带你走。” 声音来自一位老者。爱太高兴了，甚至忘了问他们即将去何方。当他们来到岸上，那位老者自己离开了。
爱意识到老者给了她多么大的帮助。于是，爱问另一位老者——知识，“谁帮助了我？”
“是时间，”知识答道。
“时间？”爱问，“但是时间为什么帮助我？”
知识充满睿智地微笑着回答：“因为只有时间了解爱的价值。”
