LOVE IS ESSENTIAL [a moral story]

One afternoon a married young woman came out of her house and saw three very old men with very long white beards sitting in her front yard. She couldn't recognize them and so she told them, "I'm sorry, I don't think I know any of you, but you look very tired and must be hungry, would you please come in and have something to eat?"
One of the old men asked, "Is the man of the house at home?”
"No", she replied. "He has gone out, but that doesn't matter, I can still get you something to eat."
"We cannot come in", they all replied.
Later in the evening when her husband finally came home, The young woman told him what had happened.
"Go and tell them I am at home now and invite them in!" and so, the woman went out and invited the men in"
"We don't just go into a House together like that," one of them replied.
"Why can't you?" the woman asked. At that point one of the old men explained: "He is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and also said pointing to another one, "He name is Success, and I am Love." he then added, "Now go inside and discuss with your husband which one of us you want as a guest in your home." The woman quickly went inside the house and told her husband what the old men had said. Her husband was very happy and overjoyed. "wow! How nice!!” he exclaimed.
"If that is the case,why not let us invite Wealth into our family. So that he will come and fill our home with riches!" His wife strongly disagreed. "My dear," she said, "why don't we invite Success?" Their daughter-in-law who was listening from one of the corners of the house quickly interrupted their suggestions: "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 at last. "Ok, go out and invite Love to be our guest." Quickly, the woman went out and asked the three old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest." On hearing that, Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also got up and followed him. Surprised, the young woman asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, since you said only one of you can come in. Why are you too coming in?" The old men replied together: "If you had invited Success or Wealth, the other two of us would have stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him because where there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!"
