The Three old men

                   A woman came out of her house and saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She didn't recognize them. She said, "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."
                   "We will not go into the house together", they replied. The woman asked "Why is that?"
One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," pointing to one of his friends, and pointing to another, "He is Success and I am Love". Then he added, "Now go and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home"
                   The woman went in and told her husband about the three old men. Her husband was overjoyed and said "Then lets welcome Wealth and ask him to fill our home with full of wealth." His wife disagreed and said "My dear, Why don't we invite Success?"
                   Their Daughter-in-law was listening and she suggested, "Lets invite Love and ask him to fill our home with love."
                   Then in-laws agreed and invited Love into their house.
                   The woman went out and invited Love into their house. As soon as Love entered the house, The other two also got up and entered the house. The lady asked,"I invited only Love but why did all three of you came in?"
                   The three old men replied,"Where there is Love, we follow."

Hence, Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success.

Through the Looking glass

             A newly married bride came to Mumbai to live with her husband in a two-room flat on the top of a high-rise building. Adjoining buildings were equally tall and windows had always to be kept closed.
             From her window, the young bride could see her neighbor in the next building washing her clothes each morning and hanging them on the clothesline for drying.The girl always found these washed clothes looking dirty, and commented to her husband on the lack of effort by the neighbor.
             Each morning, the bride would look out as soon as she got out of bed, and would variably comment upon the 'dirty' washing. Her husband got fed up with this indulgence of her wife in the neighbor's affairs. This went on for some days.
             One morning, the bride got up and looked out as usual. She was pleasantly surprised to see that the clothes on the line are spotlessly clean. She remarked this to her husband, and added, "Perhaps my criticism reached her ears, and she used a better washing powder."
             Calmly, her husband replied, " I was so fed up with your habit of criticizing the neighbor that today, while you were asleep, I got up early, and cleaned the glass of our window."
