A woman came out of her house and

saw 3 old men with long white beards

"Is the man of the house home?", they

asked.

"No", she replied. "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 asked.

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 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'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!!!!! !"
