Love, Wealth & Success

A woman came out of her house and saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not know them.
She said, "I don't think I know you, but I'm sure you must be hungry. Please come in and eat something."
"Is the man of the house home?" They asked.
"No", she replied. "My husband has been out."
"So we will not go", they replied.
When her husband came home that evening, she told him what happened. "Go tell them I am home and invite them in now!"
The woman went out and invited the old men to go inside.
"We do not go into a house together," they replied.
"Why so?" she wanted to know.
One of the old men explained, "His name is Wealth," he said, pointing to one of his friends, and pointing to another friend, "He is Success, and I am Love."
Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want to invite into the house."
The woman went in and told her husband what was said.
Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice !!" he said. "Then let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"
His wife disagreed. "My dear, why do not we invite Success?"
Incidentally, their daughter was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion, "Would not it be better to invite Love? Our home will certainly imbued with Love!"
"Let us follow the advice of our daughter," 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 two other men also got up and followed him.
Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success, "I only invited Love, why are you coming in?"
They all replied, "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other would have stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him."


... Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success! ...
