The Story Of The Three Old Men

 

 

 

 

 

A Woman came out of her house and saw Three(3) Old Men with Long White Beards sitting in Her front yard. She did not recognize them.

 

She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."

 

"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 Three(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 Two also got up and followed him.

 

Surprised, the Woman 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'."

Nice story Julia

Where there is Love there is a Wealth of Happiness, so Success can be measured in different way's.

Good morning Miss Julia!

Long time no hear.  How's my favorite young business executive doing?  Thank you for our morning inspiration.  In fact, I'm spreading my seeds of love all over the place right now.

No, wait a minute -- that didn't sound right.  Perhaps my story should fall under the title of The Story of Three Dirty Old Men.....he, he.  Miss you gurl!  

 Respectfully Kuya Jake
