A woman came outof her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her frontyard. She did not recognize them. She said "I don't think I know you, butyou must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat." "Isthe man of the house home?” they asked. "No", she replied. "He's out." "Then we cannot come in", theyreplied. In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what hadhappened. "Go tell them I am home and invite them in!" The woman wentout 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, andsaid pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then headded, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you wantin your home." The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Herhusband was overjoyed. "How nice!!” he said. "Since that is the case,let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!" Hiswife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?" Theirdaughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped inwith her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our homewill then be filled with love!" "Let us heed our daughter-in-law'sadvice," 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 gotup and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followedhim. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love,Why are you coming in?" The old men replied together: "If you hadinvited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but sinceyou invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love,there is also Wealth and Success!!!!!!"
