“19th story”
First published; Dec.28.2017
Three old men knocked on a door.
A young woman opened the door.
Three old men said: “We are hungry and tired, could you help us?”
She responded: “My husband and son are inside the house and we would be glad to help you.”
One of the old men said: “My name is WEALTH, that one’s name is SUCCESS and the other one’s name is LOVE. Only one of us can come inside. Go and ask your husband which one of us should come to your house.”
She walked back inside and told her husband and her son the circumstances.
Her husband said: “Let the wealth in. We need that. We can do anything with wealth.”
She said: “Why not let the success come in? We can have wealth if we’re successful.”
Their son said: “We should let the love in. A home is a home when it is full of love.”
She went to the door and said: “We would like, LOVE, to walk into our house.”
All three old men walked into the house.
She wondered: “But you told me only one of you can come in.”
One of the old men responded: “Whoever chooses LOVE, wealth and success come with it automatically.”

Wow! 🙂 How wise and true! <3
I agree ❤️
The blessings that come from following a child’s innocent wisdom!
you are right.<3
Great story! For the ending, you might say wealth and success will “often follow” because many loving people are poor.
Two minor suggestions:
for line four, I would switch back to the noun (the young woman) instead of “She” responded…
If a dialogue tag ends in a verb, put a comma after the verb rather than a comma.
😊thanks, happy new year.
Laleh, another wonderful story, filled with wisdom. As always thank you for sharing your talent in writing amazing stories.
You are very kind. Thanks for your beautiful comments it means a lot.❤️
Laleh, you are most welcome, have a great New Year 2018 filled with creativity and joy.

A lovely story that is international, although, in this instance, comes from Iran.

And to you and yours.
🌺❤️
Ah, wonderful 😊❤️
Thank you dear Ellie 😍
It is my very first visit to your blog and I am enchanted by your marvelous tale. I meander from one blog into another, at times I just visit and other times I stay. Thank-you for what feels like an invitation to stay.
Uh, thanks a lot. I’m glad that you’re staying 😍
That is beautifully put!
Thanks dear for following my blog 😍
My pleasure… I am enjoying your blog!
❤️
I have heard this many times in the past. It’s good to come across it again 🙂
That’s the great thing about sharing. I am amazed that on old days with no internet and vast media how great they passed all these stories around the world. It shows our thirst of knowledge.😊
Such a beautiful story. And a good reminder, especially this time of the year, to choose love.
You are right I really believe in love too.😍

loved it! i had goosebumps at the end.
I’m so happy that you liked it😍
What a lovely story and so true.
Thanks dear ❤️⭐️
Amazing story about how the choices we make cab either lead to success, wealth, or love and sometimes all three.
The fact the the family chose love over success and wealth should show us that we as human beings can and should always chose love over success and wealth.
Success and Wealth can lead to self-destruction and failure in life, but Love can bring all three together.
Exactly. Thanks for commenting.🌺❤️
Thanks for re-blogging my dear friend ❤️

Thanks dear Annabelle. That is very nice of you . My pleasure 🌸
Beautiful story. Is it a traditional Persian tale or of your own devising (or maybe a little of both)?
It is a description way of a Persian poem. Rumi “ Molana” is a very famous poet. Which it is possible to describe his wonderful poems in many different ways.
Thanks for commenting dear❤️

Ah, if only it were true. Perhaps Truth was the one absent; he knew he would never be invited in.
😂😂😂 men😂😂😂
Sorry I replied to the wrong story.
Kids are smarter than us, maybe because they’re not greedy.😂
Laleh, I liked this when you originally posted it in 2017, and I still like it. We all need to learn this lesson. It’s a good post for you to give us again.
Thanks so much my dear. How time passes. I felt like sharing the first posts will give chance for new friends to read. I still post new ones on Thursdays.
Very amazing story, Laleh, I hope more people would understand this. Sadly, most of the world is now about money.
Loved it! Great post. ❤❤
