Once upon a time, all the feelings(感受) such as Happiness, Sadness and Love lived together on an island. One day the feelings heard that the island would sink(下沉). They all repaired their boats and left except Love. Love wanted to stay until the last possible moment. Just as the island began to sink, Love decided to ask for help.
Miserliness(吝啬) was passing by Love in a big boat. Love said, “Miserliness, can you take me with you?” Miserliness answered, “I can’t. There are a lot of silver(银子) in my boat. There is no place for you here.”
Love decided to ask Vanity(虚荣) who was also passing by in a beautiful boat. “Vanity, please help me!” “I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet. You’ll make my boat dirty.” Vanity said.
Sadness was close by, so Love asked for help, “Sadness, let me go with you.” “Oh…Love. I am very sad and I need to stay in my boat by myself!”
Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear Love call her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, “Love, I will take you.” It was an old woman. Love felt so lucky that he even forgot to ask for her name. When they got to dry land, the old woman went away. Love asked Knowledge, another old woman, “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 can understand how great Love is.”

It’s important to have some friends in your life. The following types of friends are just what you need to keep happy.
1. A Loyal Best Friend
Sometimes a loyal best friend is the only thing you need to stay calm. Everyone needs a friend who will support them at any time. He knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same.
2. A Friend From a Different Culture
If everyone had a friend from a different culture, the world would be a much better place. Being in a cross-cultural friendship allows you to explore customs, values, and traditions outside of your own culture. Perhaps you can learn some new ways to do things.
So, don’t be afraid of someone that is from a different culture. Instead, keep your mind open, and make the effort to learn about something different while getting to know the person.
3. A Friendly Neighbor
These days, a lot of people don’t know their own neighbors. It’s a pity, because some neighbors can help you a lot sometimes. If you’re on a vacation, and you suddenly realize that you forgot to lock the door, you can call up your neighbor and ask them to lock it for you.
