[00:00.00]Wealth, Success and Love 财富、成功与爱情，孰重孰轻？
[00:05.17]A woman came out of her house and saw three old men
[00:11.20]with long white beards sitting in her front yard.
[00:14.36]She did not recognize them.
[00:16.45]She said,
[00:17.43]"I don’t think I know you,
[00:19.39]but you must be hungry.
[00:21.15]Please come in and have something to eat."
[00:23.23]"Is the man of the house home?"
[00:26.17]they asked.
[00:27.49]"No", she said.
[00:28.90]"He’s out."
[00:30.00]"Then we cannot come in,"
[00:32.20]they replied.
[00:33.41]In the evening when her husband came home,
[00:36.24]she told him what had happened.
[00:37.78]“Go tell them I am home and invite them in.”
[00:41.05]The woman went out and invited the men in.
[00:43.91]"We don’t go into a house together," they replied.
[00:47.71]"Why is that?"
[00:50.15]she wanted to know.
[00:51.25]One of the old men explained:
[00:53.31]"His name is Wealth,"
[00:55.29]he said pointing to one of his friends.
[00:58.34]Pointing to another one,
[00:59.77]he said,
[01:01.31]"He is Success."
[01:02.16]Then he added,
[01:03.59]"I am Love.
[01:05.03]Now go in and discuss with your husband
[01:07.74]which one of us you want in your home."
[01:10.16]The woman went in and told her husband what was said.
[01:13.98]Her husband was overjoyed.
[01:16.18]"How nice", he said.
[01:18.91]"Since that is the case,
[01:20.82]let us invite Wealth.
[01:22.58]Let him come and fill our home with wealth."
[01:24.97]His wife disagreed.
[01:26.62]"My dear, why don’t we invite Success?"
[01:29.78]Their daughter-in-law was listening
[01:32.64] from the other corner of the house.
[01:34.27]She jumped in with her own suggestion:
[01:36.90]"Would it not be better to invite Love.
[01:39.85]Our home will be filled with love."
[01:41.93]"Let us heed 1 our daughter-in-law’s advice,"
[01:45.20]said the husband to his wife.
[01:47.19]"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."
[01:51.11]The woman went out and asked the three old men,
[01:55.37]"Which one of you is Love?
[01:57.14]Please come in and be our guest."
[01:59.22]Love got up and started walking toward 2 the house.
[02:02.71]The other two also got up and followed him.
[02:05.99]Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success:
[02:09.40]"I only invited Love,
[02:11.13]why are you coming in?"
[02:12.78]The old men replied together:
[02:14.95]"If you had invited Wealth or Success
[02:18.69]the other two of us would’ve stayed out,
[02:21.41]but since you invited Love,
[02:23.83]wherever he goes we go with him.
[02:26.77]Wherever there is Love,
[02:28.64]there is also wealth and success!"
