Once upon a time,there was an island where all the feelings and senses,including Love,Happiness, Sadness and Wisdom lived. One day they were told that the island would sink(下沉),so they all got on boats and left except Love.

Love was the only one that stayed until the last possible moment. Finally, Love decided to ask for help.

Wealth was passing by Love in a beautiful boat. Love said,"Wealth, can you take me with you?"

Wealth answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no room for you."

Love decided to ask Pride, who was also passing by in a beautiful ship. "Pride,please help me!"

"I can't help you, love. You are all wet and might damage(损坏)my boat," Pride answered.

Sadness was close by,so Love asked," Sadness,let me go with you."

"Oh…Love,I'm so sad. How can I take someone else with me?"

Happiness passed by Love too. But she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called out to her.

Suddenly,there was a voice, "Come, Love,I'll take you." It was an elder. Love was so excited that he forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at the river bank(河岸),the elder went his own way. Love was grateful to the elder, so he asked Wisdom,another elder. " Who helped me?"

"It was Time," Wisdom answered.

"Time?" asked Love.

Wisdom smiled and replied,"Only Time can understand how valuable you are."

Mr. Smith went home quickly and put on (穿上) his best clothes. He went back to the party. Everyone in the room stood up and looked at him. They gave him good food to eat. Mr. Smith took off his coat, and put it on the food and said, “Eat, coat!” The other people were surprised and asked, “What are you doing?
