Invite you with respect!

``When a woman went out of her house and tried to hang the clothes under sunshine, she saw that three old men were sitting on a bench in front of her house. So, she invited three old men into her house with respect, "Aww... A Ba Twe(Uncles who are older than parents.. called with respect), are you travellers? You must be tired traveling! Please you are welcome to come in to my house, have some tea and tea leaves salad!
Then, one of the old men said, "Thanks, daughter! Is your husband in your house now?"
Woman : No, he is at his work now.
Old man : Oh. Then, we shouldn't enter into your house. You can invite us only after your husband comes back from his work. Now, you can do your chores and just ignore us.
So, the woman kept doing her house chores. When her husband came back from his work, she told about inviting the old men to her husband. Then, her husband told her to invite the old men again into their house. So, the woman went out and invited the old men again and,...

Old man : Daughter, please understand us that all three of us can't come into your house with our secret reason. So, you can invite only one of us. I'll introduce our names to you. I'm "Ba Da Na"(Uncle Wealth). This uncle is "Ba Aung Lan"(Uncle Success) and another one is "Ba Myittar"(Uncle Love). Tell your husband our names and let him decide who he wants to invite the most among three of us!

The woman retell the event to her husband again and,...
Husband : Let's invite Uncle Wealth so that as soon as he enters into our house, the whole family will be wealthy.
Woman : No. Let's invite Uncle Success so that we will have successes.
A girl who was listening at the corner of the room who is the daughter-in-law of them suggested them,...
Girl : Why don't we invite Uncle Love so that when he comes into our house, our family will be filled with full of Love and happiness.
Husband : This idea is great! Let's decide to invite Uncle Love.
The woman went out and said,...
Woman : Among three of you, who is Uncle Love? Our family invites Uncle Love, so please come into our house.
Then, Uncle Love stood up and also the other two old men prepared to come along with Uncle Love. So, the woman was surprised and asked,...
Woman : Oh, you said that only one of you could enter into my house. So, we decided to invite only Uncle Love. Now, you all will come into my house? Can I know the reason?
Old man : You're right, daughter! If you had chosen and invited one from the two who are Uncle Wealth or Uncle Success, only one of us would have come into your house. But, now you chose Uncle Love. Our secret reason is to test your family's first priority among Wealth, Success and Love. Since you chose Uncle Love, all of us can enter into your house now. Your choice was correct! Daughter! Remember this along your life! As long as you can place your Love upon everyone, Wealth and Success will follow definitely into your life. So, always try to treat everyone with your full of Love whether they are good or not upon you. You will get advantage from it.
