A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said âI donât think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.â
âIs the man of the house home?â, they asked.
âNoâ, she replied. âHeâs out.â
âThen we cannot come inâ, they replied. In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.
âGo tell them I am home and invite them in!â The woman went out and invited the men in.
âWe do not go into a House together,â they replied.
âWhy is that?â she asked.
One of the old men explained: âHis name is Wealth,â he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, âHe is Success, and I am Love.â Then he added, âNow go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home.â
The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. âHow nice!â, he said. âSince that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!â
His wife disagreed. âMy dear, why donât we invite Success?â
Their daughter was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: âWould it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!â
âLet us heed our daughterâs advice,â said the husband to his wife. âGo out and invite Love to be our guest.â
The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, âWhich one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest.â
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: âI only invited Love, Why are you coming in?â
The old men replied together:
âIf you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us wouldâve stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!â
Moral of the story:
Penuhi hidup anda dengan penuh kasih & sayang. Kekayaan & kejayaan akan menyusuli kemudianâ¦
