A

A woman saw three old men sitting in her front yard. She said, “I don't think I know you, but you must be very hungry. Please come in and find something to eat.”

“We do not go into a house together.” they replied.

“Why is that?” she asked.

One of the old men answered, “His name is Wealth, this is Success, and I am Love.” Then he said, “ Now go in and discuss with your family which one of us you want in your house.”

Then the woman went in and told her family what was said. She said, “Let's invite Wealth. Let him come in and bring us nice things. We have been so poor.” His husband disagreed, “My dear, why don’t we invite Success? Don't you want me to be a successful man?” Then the daughter asked, “Would it be better to invite Love? Our life will then be filled with love!” “Let's take our daughter's advice(建议),” said the father and mother.

So the woman went out and asked, “Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest.” Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success, “I only invited Love. Why are you coming along?” The two old men answered, “If you had invited Wealth or Success, Two of us would have stayed out, but since you have invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him. Where there is love, there is wealth and Success.”

B

Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience of his childhood.

When he was 12, his parents died. He was alone and didn't get on well with others. People always laughed at him. No one showed kindness to him.

His only friend was a dog named Tige. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not polite to it. He didn't know that an unkind word sometimes could cut one's heart like a knife.

One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped other bags. He came to help her. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” she said kindly, smiling.

A special feeling came to him. These were the first kind words he had ever heard. He watched her until she went far away, and then he whistled (吹口哨) to his dog and went directly to the river nearby.

“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy” he repeated the woman's words. Then in a low voice he said to his dog, “You are a nice little dog!” Tige raised its ears as if it understood.

“Unum! Even a dog likes it!” he said. “Well, Tige, I won't say unkind words to you any more.” Tige waved its tail happily.

The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw nothing but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. Again he looked. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed. From then on, he had a new life.

After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and then he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the very place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed (种子) of kindness. All of us should learn about kindness. What a great power (力量) it has!"
