    爱的故事

    Anonymous/佚名

    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 repaired their boats and left.

    Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment.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 here for you.”

    很久以前，快乐、悲伤、知识还有爱等，都住在一个小岛上。一天，它们被告知，小岛快要沉没了。于是，所有的情感都修理各自的小船，然后离开了。

    爱想要坚守，直到最后一刻。当小岛几乎要完全沉没时，爱决定寻求求帮助。财富刚好经过爱身边，它乘坐在一艘豪华轮船上。爱说道：“财富，你能带我一起走吗？”财富回答：”不，我不能，我船上的金银财宝太多了，没有空余的地方给你。”

    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 for help，“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！

    虚荣也驾着漂亮的船路过，爱决定去恳求她，“虚荣，请帮帮我！”“我不能帮你，你浑身都湿透了，会把我的船损坏的。”虚荣答道。

    爱又向附近的悲伤求助，“悲伤，让我和你一起走吧。”“噢……爱，我真的很伤心，我需要一个人独处。”

    快乐也在爱的一旁路过，但是，她太开心了，甚至都没有听见爱对她的呼唤。

    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 his name.When they arrived at dry land，the elder went his own way.

    Love realized how much he owed the elder and 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 wisdomand answered，“Because，only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is.”

    突然，有一个声音传来，“爱，过来吧，我带你一起走。”是一位年老的长者。爱感到异常幸运，他沉浸在巨大的喜悦中，甚至连老人的名字都忘了问。当他们到达陆地，老者独自走远了。

    爱意识到自己受到他的恩泽实在太多了，便去问另一位老者知识，“是谁帮助了我啊？”

    知识答道：“是时间。”“时间？”爱问道。

    “为什么时间会帮我呢？”知识笑了．他意味深长地答道，“因为爱的伟大只有时间才能理解。

    如果能再活一回

    I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren‘t there for the day.

    I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.
