LOVE AND TIME ✨

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 constructed 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 have 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 not. there is a lot of gold and silver in my boat, there is no place here for you."

LOVE decided to ask venity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "vanity, please please help me!" I can not 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", then sadness replied"oh.....love i am so sad that I need to be by myself."

HAPPINESS passed by love, too. so love started calling happiness for help 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 with me." it was an elder. so blessed and over enjoyed, love even forget to ask to 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 helped me?"

KNOWLEDGE smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "because only time is capable of understanding how valuable love is."

THE STORY OF THE APPLE STAR ✨

ONCE upon a time, a young apple began in an orchard . each night she would gaze up into the evening sky and admire all the bright and twinkling stars. oh, how she wished she had just one of those shining stars of her own.

ONE night, an orchard fairy came to the tree with a promise to grant the little tree one wish. without any hesitation the young tree told the fairy of her wish for star of her own. the fairy promised that if the apple tree was a good tree and grow to be big and strong and full of red, ripe apples her wish would be granted.

THE apple tree tried her very hardest. each sunny day she lifted her branches up to the warm sunshine and each rainy day her roots soaked up the water she needed to grow. after several seasons her hard work had paid off nd she was the one of the biggest tree in the orchard with branches, heavy with red ripe apples. she waited for the orchard fairy to return so she could show her wt she had done and finally be granted her wish.

THE apple tree was beginning to lose hope when one day the fairy returned at last. the tree shook her limbs with excitement, showing of her strong branches and all those beautiful apples. "look," she exclaimed I've worked so hard and i have wanted so patiently . when will i finally be given my wish and one bright star of my own?"

"OH, my dear tree" replied the fairy. "your wish has already been granted. you now have among your branches not just one, but as many starts as you have admired in the sky.

"BUT where?" questioned the apple tree. all i see on my branches are Leaves nd those ripe apples!.

...THE orchard fairy gently answered, "just peek inside any of those apples. there u will find a special , secret hidden star. it's ready to be discovered by lucky person who chooses one of the apple u have worked so hard to grow...
