Wealth, Success and Love
A man came home from work to find three old men sitting outside his house. Because they looked tired and hungry, he invited them in.
“We do not accept joint invitations,” they replied.
“Why is that?” he asked. One of the men explained: “I am Wealth, my friend here is Success and the other one is Love. Now which of us will you let in?”
The man went in and asked his wife what to do. “Let’s have Wealth in, “she cried. “No,” said his daughter, “let’s have Success.” His mother was in the house and said: “Would it not be better to invite Love in and then your home will be filled with happiness?”
The man decided to heed his mother’s advice and invited Love in. Love got up and walked in and was followed by the others.
Surprised, the man asked: “I only invited Love in. Why are you coming in as well?” The old men replied: “If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two would have stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him.”
