husband asked her to invite them in. But they replied they wouldn’t go into a house together. One of the old men explained: “His name is Wealth,” he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing 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 was said. Her husband was overjoyed. “How nice!”, he said. “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 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!”

The husband took their daughter’s advice and the wife went out to invite Love to be their 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 in?” The old men replied together: “If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!”

M: Hello, I’m Jason Newman, the policeman on duty. You are…

W: I am Alice.

M: Did you see the accident?

W: Oh, yes. I was standing outside the bank building and I saw it quite clearly.

M: Do you know what time it was?

W: Yes, I checked my watch. It was a quarter to three exactly.

M: Good. How fast was the truck moving?

W: Well, quite slowly—at about 10 miles an hour. It was coming along Garden Road. I think the truck driver knew the lights were going to change, but they were still red when he went through them.

M: I see. What about the woman who was hit?

W: It was a middle-aged woman and she was running across the road. Since it was raining heavily and the wind was blowing hard, besides, the road was slippery, she fell down. That’s how she was hit by the truck.

M: What happened then?

W: The truck driver stopped for a moment then quickly drove away.

M: Did you see the number of the truck?

W: Yes. It’s GX7946.

M: Thank you for your time.

W: You’re welcome.
