A NICE STORY

A woman came out of her house and saw three old men
with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She
did not recognize them. She said, "I don't think I

husband to his wife "Go out and invite Love to be our
guest."
The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "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
