爱在哪里，哪里就有财富和成功！
走出自己的房屋，看见坐在她家前院的三位长胡子老人，妇女并不认识，于是问到：“我想我不认识你们，可你们相比是饿了，请进来吃点东西吧。”“男主人在家吗？”他们问到。
“哦，不在”“他出去了”
“那我们就不能进来了。”这三位白胡子老人回答到。
傍晚时分，丈夫回家后，这位妇女告诉了他所发生的事情。
“那就无告诉他们我在家了，邀请他们进来吧！”丈夫说到。于是妇女走了出去邀请这老人们进屋，“可我们不能同时进一所房屋。”他们回答到。
“为什么这样呢？”
“他的名字叫财富，他叫成功，而我叫爱。”“现在就请你进屋和你的丈夫商量一下你们想邀请我们当中哪一个到你家中”。其中一位老人指着其中一个朋友解释到。
这位妇女进家后告诉了他丈夫，他丈夫高兴极了。“太棒了！”他说到。“既然这样，那我们就邀请财富进来吧，让财富充满我们的家！”可他妻子并不同意，说到：“亲爱的，我们为何不邀请成功呢？”在屋角的儿媳听到后，也欣然表达着自己的意见：“难道还有比邀请爱更好的吗？这样，我们的家就会充满着爱啊！”“好吧！那就采纳儿媳的建议”丈夫对着妻子说到。“那就出去邀请爱作为我们的嘉宾吧！”
于是，这位妇女走到门外问这三位老人：“你们哪一位是爱？请进来吧！”
那位叫爱的老人起身开始走向房屋。
其他两位老人也站了起来跟着爱，这位妇女惊讶地问财富和成功：“我只是邀请爱啊！为什么你们也要进家了？”
“如果你邀请了财富或者是成功，我们其他两位只能呆在屋外了，可只要你邀请了爱，无论他到哪里，我们都会在他左右。无论爱在哪里，哪里就会有财富和成功啊！” 三位老人齐声答道。

A woman came out of her house and saw three 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 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-in-law 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 filled with love." "Let us heed our daughter-in-law'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 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 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!"
