A woman came out of her house and saw(http://www.watchescat.com/B-Replica-Rado-Watches-59.html) three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said,"I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat." "Is the man of the house home?" they asked. "No," she said."He's out." "Then we cannot come in," they replied.In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. "Go tell them I am home and invite them in! " The woman went out and invited the men in."We do not go into a house together," they replied. "Why is that?" she wanted to know. One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said, pointing to one of his friends, and then pointed to another one,"He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."The woman went in and told her husband what the old man had said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice! " he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite 'Wealth'. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!His wife disagreed."My dear, why ...
... don't we invite 'Success'?" Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house.She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite ' Love' ? Our home will then be filled with love!"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife. "Go out and invite 'Love' to be our guest." The woman went out and asked the three old men,"Who 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:"! only invited 'Love'. Why are you coming in?"The old men replied together:"If you had invited 'Wealth' or 'Success', the other two of us would' ve stayed out, but since you invited ' Love', wherever he goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success! Over vast areas of every continent, the rainfall and vegetation necessary for life are disappearing. Already more than 40 percent of the earth's land is desert or desert-like. About 628 million people—one out of seven— live in these dry regions. In the past, they have managed to survive, but with difficulty. Now, largely through problems caused by modern life, their existence is threatened by the slow, steady spread of the earth' s deserts. In the past, they have managed to survive, but with difficulty. Now, largely through problems caused by modern life, their existence is threatened by the slow, steady spread of the earth' s deserts. Many countries first became concerned in the 1970s after a terrible drought and famine destroyed Africa's Sahel, the fragile desert along the south edge of the Sahara. Thousands of people died even though there was a worldwide effort to send food and medicine to the starving people.Droughts and crop failures are not new in desert regions. They have been a fact of life for thousands of years. However, few people lived in desert regions in the past. They kept few animals, and they moved frequently. To- day's problems are caused in great part by distinctly modern factors. In the Sahel, for example, Africans benefited from improvements in public health and modern fanning methods. New water wells encouraged people to settle down on the land near the wells. The population grew. Farmers planted more crops and enlarged their herds of cattle, sheep and goats. They became dependent on the new wells. When the drought came, the crops failed and the cattle ate all the grass around the overworked wells. The fragile land quickly lost its topsoil and became nothing but sand and dust.( http://www.watchescat.com/)
