Read the passage below and answer the questions which follow. One day a poor man and his family were working in their garden when they saw three old men walking down the road. The poor man stopped working and told the youngest of his three sons to call the three old men. When they came, he told them: "Dear sirs, I can see that you are tired. You look thirsty and hungry too. Please, enter our house, have some food and rest a little." One of the old men replied: "It's so nice and generous of you to invite us into your house. We have been walking down the village and we have met many people. Nobody paid attention to us or invited us to their place. However, all three of us cannot come inside your house together. You will have to choose only one of us. The family was confused and the old man added "I'm LOVE. If you want love and peace to prevail in your house, you can pick me." He then pointed to the second old man and said, "He is WEALTH! If he enters your house, you will become rich." Pointing to the third old man, he said: "He is SUCCESS. He will make you successful for ever." The family discussed for some time and then decided to invite LOVE to their house. On hearing this, all the three old men entered the house happily. The family was surprised. So the three old men told them: "Wealth alone brings greed. Success alone brings pride. But wealth and success, accompanied by love, make someone humble and generous."
