in front of a candle's flame.
The first one went closer and said:
I know about love.
I know about love.
The second one touched the flame
lightly with his wings and said:
I know how love's fire can burn.
lightly with his wings and said:
I know how love's fire can burn.
The third one threw himself into the heart of the flame
and was consumed. He alone knows what true love is.
and was consumed. He alone knows what true love is.
