The Island of Two Languages

Once upon a time, there were two languages that lived on an island and were neighbors. One was called Language A, and the other was called Language Y. They argued for a long time and couldn't decide who was more important and valuable. They argued about everything and couldn't understand each other. Language A said that blue was the most beautiful color, while Language Y said it was red. Language Y liked the sunrise, while Language A preferred the sunset. Language Y was fond of its spirit, which was pure, strong, unbeatable, free, kind, and brave. Language A was fond of its mind, which was sharp, quick, logical, thoughtful, and inventive.
