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.”

Being safe in your everyday life needs knowledge. If you remember the following information，your life will be much safer.
● Always notice the environment around you. You shouldn’t walk alone outside late at night. Make sure where the public phones are. If anything dangerous happens，you can find them easily.
