Happy Awal Muharam-Love, Success or wealth

LOVE, SUCCESS OR WEALTH?

A woman encountered three old men in the front yard of her house.

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.

They replied,'You can choose only one person to be your guest,'

The oldest of them introduced his friends and himself. 'This person's name is Wealth, and the other person is Success, and I am Love.' Then he added, 'Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want to invite into your home.'

The lady of the house went in and told her husband what was said.

Her husband resolved, 'let us invite Wealth . Let him come and fill our home with treasures!'

His wife disagreed, 'Why don't we invite Success instead?'

Their daughter who was listening to the conversation 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. 'Please invite Love to be our guest.'

The woman went out and invited Love, 'Please come in and be our guest . '

As Love entered the house, the other two men also started following him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success, 'I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?'

The three men replied, 'Had you just 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!

So then on, the life of the family was filled with love, wealth and success.
