Virtues and vices were living on earth, then they started to feel depression due to the bad routine of life. After long time of thinking, Innovation had suggested for them a game of 'hide yourself somewhere' to play. They all loved the idea, madness said "I want from all of you to hide yourselves somewhere, I will close my eyes and count till hundred. When I open my eyes, I will try to find out everyone, ok?"
Then, he closed his eyes and started to count "1, 2, 3 …" At this moment, virtues and vices started to hide themselves. Kindness found herself a place on the moon, disloyalty jumped inside the nearest rubbish can, passion entered between clouds, and eagerness immediately disappeared under the ground.
Lying shouted loudly "Hey, I am going to hide myself under the stone" then he immediately headed to the bottom of the lake. Madness continued "79, 80, 81…" During this time, everyone had taken a place for him except love. As usual, love was not a decision maker and he did not even decide to hide himself because he knows that he can never be hidden easily. When madness completed counting "98, 99 & 100", love jumped and disappeared between the roses trees.
"I am coming to find all of you" said Madness, opening his eyes, and started to search for everyone. Laziness was the first one who had been discovered by madness because he did not even move to hide himself, and soon lying came out of the deep lake breathless. Then madness pointed to the kindness to come back from the moon, called for the disloyalty to come out of the rubbish can, shouted at the passion to return from clouds, and pull the eagerness out of the ground.
Madness felt disappointment, he was frustrated that he did not find love; jealousy approached him and whispered softly in his ears "Love is between the roses trees" Madness got angry, grabbed a wooden arrow, and start to pierce the roses trees heedlessly. All of a sudden, love appeared with his red hands covering his eyes.
"Oh my God" said madness "What did I do? Love has become sightless, what can I do now?"
"You cannot return my sight" love responded bitterly "But there is still something you can do for me, just lead me"
Since then, blind love is led by madness.
