One of the old men pointed to his friends and explained: “His name is Wealth,” he said and pointed to the other man: “He is Success, and I am Love. 【2】”

The woman went in and told her husband what had happened. Her husband was very happy. “How nice!” he said. “Let us invite Wealth!”

【3】 “My dear, why don’t we invite Success?”
