A woman came out of her house and saw three old men with long

white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognise them but insisted
on inviting them into her house.

One of the men, 1 up and said to her, “We do not go into a house
together. I am Love. These are my friends, Wealth and Success.” Then he said
to 2 woman, “Go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you
would like to invite into your house.”

After much 3 , the husband finally decided that they should invite
Love so that they could have their house filled with love.

When Love started 4 into the house, the other two men also got
up and followed him. Surprised, the woman asked, “I only invited Love in, 5
are you coming in as well?”

The men replied together, “If you had invited Wealth 6 Success in,
the two of us would have stayed out but 7 you invited Love, where he
goes, we will follow. Wherever there is Love, there is always Wealth and
Success.
