THREE OLD MEN


A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She told her husband about them and he asked her to call 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.  Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and asked her husband "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth so that our  home will be filled with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"

Their daughter-in-law 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!"
