Wealth, Success or Love?


A woman was watering the garden of her house and saw three elderly with their years of experience in front of her garden.
Although she had never met them before, she invited them to come in and have a meal because she believed they were hungry, so she said "Please come into my house so that you can eat something."
They asked her if the man of the house was at home and she said "No, he is not."
"So, we can not get in." they said.
When her husband arrived in that evening, she told him what happened.
The husband said "Then go there now and tell them that I have arrived and invite them to come in."
Promptly, the woman went out and invited the men to come into her home.
"We can not enter your house all three together" said the elders.
"Why?" she wondered.
One man pointed to another of his friends and said "His name is Wealth.", then he pointed to another "His name is Success and I call Love. Go into the house and decide with your husband which one of us, you want to invite to get into your house."
The woman went home and told her husband what they had told her.
The man was delighted and replied "Good! Since this is so, let us invite Wealth, which should enter and fill our home."
The wife did not agree and said "Honey, why we do not invite Success?"
Their daughter was listening to everything and came running to say "Wouldn't it be better to invite Love? Our home would then be filled with love."
"Let's listen to the advice of our daughter" said the husband to his wife. "Go out and invite Love to be our guest."
The wife came out and asked them "Which of you is Love? Please, come in and be our guest."
Love sat on his chair and began advancing towards 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 too?"
The men replied together "If you had invited Wealth or Success in, the other two would stay out here, but since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we will go with him because where there is love there is also wealth and success."
