A woman came out of her house and saw three old men sitting in her front yard. She invited them in to have something to eat.
“We do not go into a house together,” they replied.
“Why is that?” she asked.
One of the old men pointed to his friends and explained: “His name is Wealth (财富),” he said and pointed to the other man: “He is Success, and I am Love. Now go in and discuss with your family which one of us you want in your home.”
The woman went in and told her husband what happened. Her husband was very happy. “How nice!” he said. “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 jumped in with her idea: “Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!”
“That’s a good idea,” said the husband to his wife. “Go out and invite Love to be our guest.”
The woman went out and invited Love in. Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two old men also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked them: “I only invited Love. Why are you coming in?”
The old men replied together: “If you invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would stay outside. But since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!”
