In a small town, there lives a father and his young son. One afternoon, while they were playing in their yard, they met three old men with ordinary looks but deep eyes. The old men seemed to be lost and sat in front of their house to rest.
The son noticed that the old man had been sitting for a long time, and said to his father, "Look, those old men have been there for a while, and they may be hungry, can we invite them to come in and have something to eat?"
The father nodded, agreed to his son's suggestion, and walked up to the old men and invited them in for dinner.
The old people politely replied that they could not enter the house together.
The son asked curiously why.
One old man explained that his name is wealth, another is success, and the third is love. He told the father and son that only one of them could be invited into the house.
The excited father wanted to invite wealth into the house, imagining all the benefits it could bring them.
The son seemed a little hesitant, his eyes were full of curiosity about the unknown, why don't we invite love? The son cautiously came up with his idea.
The father smiled and replied, love is important, son, but wealth and success bring us more security and opportunities. However, the son has always stood by his opinion.
After some heated discussion, the father was finally touched by his son's innocence and firmness, and he decided to respect his son's choice and said to the old man, please ask which of you is love, please come in and be our guest.
Love smiled and got up and walked towards their home. To their surprise, the remaining two old men also stood up together and walked into the house.
Puzzled, my father asked, "Why did you all come in, didn't you invite only one?"
The old man smiled and said, "With love, there is wealth and success." You have chosen love, so we will follow love into your home.
In life, though wealth and success are very important. But love is the most fundamental thing. As long as there is love in the family, other good things will follow.
