| [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 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 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!" |
