One day, this woman come home from her work and saw three old men with long beard were sitting in front of her nice and cozy yard. She doesn’t know who they are, and asking “I don’t know any one of you, but I’m certain that you might be sturfing right now. So, lets go inside I’ll cook something for you,”.
But one of the old men ask back,” is your husband at home ?”. She replies ,”No, not yet, he still out for work,”.
The three old men said again,” Then we’ll wait until you husband gets home,” they said that in peaceful smile.
In the evening, the whole family gathering again in that house, and the lady told her husband about the three wise old men outside their yard. For a moment, the husband little bit confuse about the story, and then told his wife to call the three old men outside, to come in.
Hence, the lady go ask the three old men to come in, but instantly they reply,” we can’t go inside together, you have to choose one of us, one by one to invite us in,”. The lady look with astonishment, then ask,”Why..?,”
One of three old men explain to her,” His name is fortune, and the man who sits beside him is success, and my name is compassion. That’s why you should choose which one of us, who should enter you house first. Go ask your husband, who he need to invite from us most,”.
The lady leave again to tell her husband about this uncommon circumstances, and again the husband feel amaze.”Wow, this is unbelievable, I’d rather invite fortune, so he can fill this house full of fortune my dear..,” the husband said. But his wife refuse this idea, and told him that she’d rather invite Mr, Success to come in first,”We need success in our farm harvest, why don’t we invite Mr Success first?,”.
But in coincident, their dearest children heard about this argument and said,”That will be great if we invite Mr Compassion to come inside. Our house will feel more cozy and warm with compassion,”. Then the parents agreed with their beloved children’s idea, and decide to invite Mr Compassion in.
The lady go outside again to ask a men named compassion to come in, then Mr Compassion stood up, walk to the house. Suddenly, the two other men, also rise up and walk along behind Mr Compassion. Feel curios about this action, the lady ask again,”I only invite compassion, but why fortune and success also come along?,”.
Those two men answering in the same time,” If you just invite fortune or success to go inside, you will only have one of them, and the rest of us will stay outside. But, since you invite compassion, in whatever place he goes, we will walk behind him. You should know, that both of fortune and success were blind, only compassion who can see. Only compassion who can lead us to, the right path of life, and good deeds. Therefore, we need his guidance when we walk and running this life,”. Said Fortune and Success in the same voice.
No matter how huge our intention is, but never leave the essence of our life, compassion, love, and care for other
