A BEAUTIFUL
STORY
ABOUT
THREE MEN
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 two 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 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
!!!!!"
