Once upon there was a husband, wife and son. One day, the wife went outside and saw three dignified men sitting in the yard. She invited the men into the house to have a meal. The three men refused to go in unless the whole family was in the house. The women told them that her son was out, so the men stayed in the yard.

When the son returned, the husband, wife and son went outside and invited the men in for a meal. The men told them that they had very special names. One man was called Wealth, one was called Success and one was called Love. They also told them that only one of then could enter the house. The man, wife and son had to decide who they would ask to enter the house. The husband said that Wealth should enter the house, the wife disagreed and said that Success should enter, the son wanted Love to enter. The man and the wife wanted their son to have what he wished for, so they agreed that Love would enter the house.

They were amazed when Wealth and Success followed Love into the house. They asked the men why they all entered the house even though only Love was invited. Wealth said “if you had invited me or Success, all three of use would have left, but you invited Love, and wherever Love goes we always follow.”
