Love and Time

Once upon a time all feelings and emotions went to a coastal island for a vacation. According to their nature, each
was having a good time. Suddenly, warning of an impending storm was announced and everyone was advised to
evacuate the island.
The announcement caused sudden panic. All rushed to their boats. Even damaged boats were quickly repaired
and commissioned for duty.
Yet, Love did not wish to flee quickly. There was so much to do. But as the clouds darkened, Love realized it was
time to leave. Alas, there were no boats to spare. Love looked around with hope.
Just then Prosperity passed by in a luxurious boat. Love shouted, “Prosperity, could you please take me in your boat?”
“No,” replied Prosperity, “my boat is full of precious possessions, gold and silver. There is no place for you.”
A little later Vanity came by in a beautiful boat. Again, Love shouted, “Could you help me, Vanity? I am stranded
and need a lift. Please take me with you.”
Vanity responded haughtily, “No, I cannot take you with me. My boat will get soiled with your muddy feet.”
Sorrow passed by after some time. Again, Love asked for help. But it was to no avail. “No, I cannot take you with
me. I am so sad. I want to be by myself.”
When Happiness passed by a few minutes later, Love again called for help. But Happiness was so happy that it
did not look around, hardly concerned about anyone.
Love was growing restless and dejected. Just then somebody called out, “Come Love, I will take you with me.”
Love did not know who was being so magnanimous, do you know who so generously gave me a lift just when no one else
wished to help?”
Knowledge smiled, “Oh, that was Time.”
“And why would Time stop to pick me and take me to safety?” Love wondered.
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and replied, “Because only Time knows your true greatness and what you
are capable of. Only Love can bring peace and great happiness in this world.”

Learning Task 2: Make a bar graph, pie chart or table showing number of downloads and details of the most
downloaded applications of the decade.
Twitter, which launched in 2006, made the list with one billion downloads over the decade.
YouTube was downloaded 1.3 billion times, and is the highest-ranking Google app on the list.
Chinese Internet giant Alibaba's UC Browser was downloaded 1.3 billion times, and in some parts of Asia the
browser is more popular than Google Chrome.
TikTok is one of the newest entries on the list, as it was only released in the US in 2018, but it has already been
downloaded 1.3 billion times, according to App Annie.
Video-calling app Skype was downloaded 1.3 billion times over the decade. It was acquired by Microsoft in 2012,
and got a major upgrade in 2017 to stay competitive against Facebook Messenger.
Snapchat is the only app not owned by Facebook to crack the top five, and the photo-messaging app has been
downloaded 1.5 billion times.
Instagram has 2.7 billion downloads, nearly twice as many as Snapchat at No 5. Instagram was acquired by
Facebook in 2012 for $1 billion.
WhatsApp, the encrypted messaging service Facebook bought for $19 billion in 2014, has 4.3 billion downloads.
Facebook Messenger, another messaging service owned by Facebook that spun out of its in-app chat feature,
beat out WhatsApp with 4.4 billion downloads. US regulators are reportedly considering blocking
Facebook's plans to more closely tie its messaging services together. Finally, Facebook itself topped the list with
a whopping 4.6 billion downloads over the last 10 years.
