"Is the man of the house home?", they asked. "No",
she said. "He's out."
"Then we cannot come in", they replied.
In the evening when her husband came home, she
told him what had happened. "Go tell them I am
home and invite them in!" The woman went out
and invited the men in. "We do not go into a House
together," they replied. "Why is that?" she wanted
to know.
One of the old men explained: "His name is
Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends,
and said pointing to another one,
"He is Success, and I am Love."
Then he added, "Now go in and discuss
with your husband which one of us you want in
your home." The woman went in and told her
husband what was said. Her husband was
overjoyed. "How nice!!", he said. "Since that is
the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come
and fill our home with wealth!"
His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we
invite Success?"
Their daughter-in-law was listening from the
other corner of the house. She jumped in
with her own suggestion: "Would it not be
better to invite Love?
Our home will then be filled with love!"
"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said
the husband to his wife.
"Go out and invite Love to be our guest." The
woman went out and asked the 3 old men,
"Which one of you is Love? Please
come in and be our guest."
Love got up and started walking toward the
house. The other 2 also got up and followed
him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth
and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are
you coming in?"
The old men replied together: "If you had invited
Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've
stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever
He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love,
there is also Wealth and Success!!!
A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old
men with long white beards sitting in her front yard.
She did not recognize them. She said "I don't
think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please
come in and have something to eat."
