愛和時間
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.
從前有一個島，所有的情感都住在那裏：幸福、悲傷、知識和所有其它的，愛也不例外。一天，所有的情感聽說小島即將沉沒，因此建造小船，紛紛離開，除了愛。
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.
愛是唯一留下來的，因爲它希望能堅持到最後一刻。
When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
小島即將沉沒了，愛決定請求幫助。
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,
富有駕着一艘大船從愛身邊經過，愛說，
"Richness, can you take me with you?"
“富有，你能帶上我麼?”
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
富有回答說：“不行，我的船上載滿金銀財寶，沒有你的地方。”
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"
虛榮坐在漂亮的小船中從愛身邊駛過，愛問：“虛榮，你能幫助我麼?”
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
虛榮說：“不行，你全身溼透，會弄髒我的船。”
Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
悲傷的船靠近了，愛問：“悲傷，請帶我走吧。”
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
“哦... 愛，我太難過了，想一個人呆着。”
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.
幸福經過愛的身邊，它太開心了，根本沒聽見愛在呼喚。
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,
突然，一個聲音喊道：“來，愛，我帶你走。” 聲音來自“年老”。愛太高興了，甚至忘了問他們即將去何方。當他們來到岸上，年老自己離開了。愛突然意識到“年老”給了它多大的幫助。
Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"
於是，愛問另一位老者--知識：“誰幫助了我?”
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
知識說：“是時間。”
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
“時間?”愛問：“但是時間爲什麼幫助我?”
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."
知識睿智地微笑道：“因爲只有時間瞭解愛的價值。”

成長 Growth
When we plant a rose seed in the earth, we notice it is small, but we do not criticize it as “rootless and stemless1.” We treat it as a seed, giving it the water and nourishment2 required of a seed.
一粒微小的玫瑰花子被植入土壤時，我們並不因它“無根無莖”而加以批評。我們把它當做一粒種子來對待，施予它所需的水分和養料。
When it first shoots up out of the earth, we don't condemn it as immature3 and underdeveloped, nor do we criticize the buds for not being open when they appear. We stand in wonder at the process taking place, and give the plant the care it needs at each stage of its development.
當它剛剛破土而出時，我們不因它幼稚、發育不良而詆譭它;當出現花蕾時，我們也不因它們不綻放而責備它。在它成長的不同階段，給予它所需的照顧。我們會驚喜地目睹整個過程。
The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential4. It seems to be constantly in the process of change: Yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is.
玫瑰，從一粒種子開始，到凋零，直至死亡，始終是玫瑰。在它生命的每時每刻，體內都蘊藏着巨大的潛能。它似乎總在不斷地變化，但是在任何階段，任何時刻，都是最真實、最完美的。
A flower is not better when it blooms than when it is merely a bud; at each stage it is the same thinga flower in the process of expressing its potential.
一朵花，在每一階段都是相同的，無論是盡情綻放的花朵還是含苞欲放的花骨朵，都是這朵花--一朵時刻展現自己潛能的花。
