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.”
“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!!!!!!”
