A woman saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She said, ‘I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.’ ‘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 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 the old man said. Her husband was excited. ‘How nice!’ he said. ‘Since 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, ‘Wouldn't it be better to invite Love? Our home will then be full of love.’ The husband said to his wife, ‘Go out and invite Love to be our guest.’

The woman went out and asked the three old men, ‘Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest.’ Love got up and started walking towards the house. The other two also got up and followed him, 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!’
