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 replied. "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 asked.
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 three 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 two old men 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.
Lesson from this Story:
Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!"
