美丽的英语：有爱,就会有成功和财富
Wealth, Success and LoveA woman came out of her house and saw three old men with long white beards
sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said, "I don't think
I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to
eat."
"Is the man of the house home?", they asked. "No", she replied, "He's out."
"Then we cannot come in", they replied. In the evening when her husband came
home, she told him what had happened. "Go tell them I am home and invite them
in!" The woman went out and invited the men in. "We do not go into a House
together," they replied. "Why is that?" she asked.
One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one
of his friends, "and he is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in
and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."
The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was
overjoyed. "How nice!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth.
Let him come and fill our home with wealth!" His wife disagreed. "My dear, why
don't we invite Success?" Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other
corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "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. "Go out and invite Love
to be our guest."
overjoyed adj. 狂喜的、极端高兴的 case n. 情形 daughter-in-law 儿媳
The woman went out and asked the three old men, "Which one of you is Love?
Please come in and be our guest."
Love got up and started walking toward the house.
The other two also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked
Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"
The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the
other two of us would have stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He
goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and
Success!"
