“我們不能一起進屋，”老人們回答道。

其中一位老人指向他們中的一位老人說：“他的名字叫財富”，“另外一個叫成功，我叫做愛情”，之後他繼續補充道：“進屋和你丈夫商量一下，你想要邀請我們三位中的哪一位進屋呢?”

"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice,"said the husband to his wife."Go out and invite Love to be our guest."

“我們就按照媳婦的意思吧”，丈夫對妻子講，“出去邀請愛情來我們家做客吧!”

愛情起身朝屋裏走去，其他兩位老人也起身跟在他身後。妻子覺得很奇怪，就問財富和成功“我只邀請了愛情，你們幹嗎也進去呢?”

The old men replied together:"If you had invited Wealth or Success,the other two of us would have stayed,but since you invited Love,wherever he goes,we go with ever there is Love,there is also Weath and Success!"

老人齊聲回答道：“如果你只邀請了財富或者成功，那麼另外兩位就不會進屋，但你邀請了愛，愛走到哪裏，我們就應該跟到哪裏。擁有愛就是擁有財富，擁有成功。”
