a short fairy tale

It is said that once, long ago, Madness invited its friends at home and offered to play “hide and seek”.
Enthusiasm immediately accepted, followed by Happiness and Euphoria.
But not everyone wanted to participate. The Truth preferred not to hide, Fear did not even leave home.
“1, 2, 3 …” – Madness began to count.
Haste hid before, the first place was good . Faith went to heaven and Joy ran into the midst of the garden.
Sadness began to cry, because could not find a suitable corner to hide. Envy hid under the shadow of Triumph, which was able to reach the highest peak. Selfishness immediately took the best place.
Generosity was not able to hide because left to its friends every place that found, until decided to hide behind a ray of sunshine.
Passion and Desire hid themselves in the center of a volcano. Lie hid not know where.
Despair was so in despair, seeing that the Madness was already to ninety nine…
“ONE HUNDRED!”- Shouted the Madness- “I’ll start looking”.
The first to be found was Curiousity since could not prevent himself to going out to see who would be the first to be discovered.
Looking on the one hand Madness saw Doubt on a fence not knowing which side would be better to be hidden. And so on, found Joy and Sadness. Envy in the shadow of the Triumph. It felt the shudder of the volcano of Passion and Desire and found, one after another, all of the friends. Curiousity asked: “Where is Love?”.
Madness began to look for when finally saw a beautiful rose garden.
Took a piece of wood and began to search among the branches, but suddenly Madness heard a cry.
It was Love, who cried because the thorns had blinded its eyes.
Madness did not know what to do. It wept, prayed, apologized, begged for its forgiveness. Love forgave it.
Since then, Love was blind and Madness did not leave it ever!
