Once in a village, a woman saw three old men sitting outside her house. The woman went outside and said, “I saw that you are sitting here for long, you must be _______. Please come in and have something to eat.” They replied, “We do not go inside a house _______.” The woman was curious.
One of the old men explained, “His name is Wealth (财富). This is Success, and I am Love.” Then he added, “Please go in and _______ with your family which one of us you want in your home.”
The woman went inside and told her family what happened. Her husband said, “Let’s invite Wealth because we are now too _______ to buy a new house.” But his wife _______, “Why not invite Success?” The daughter had a different opinion, “If we ask Love to get in, our home will be full of _______.” The husband and wife all agreed to her advice.
The woman again went out and said, “Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our _______.” Love got up and started walking to the house. Just then the other two also got up and _______ him. The woman was _______ and asked, “You said that only one could get inside my house. I invited only Love. Why are the other two coming in?”
The old men replied, “If you invite Wealth or Success, the other two will __________. But since you invite Love, wherever he goes, we will go with him.”
