  Once upon time there was a carpenter. The carpenter runs after his work every morning. He goas after halal sustenance.His wife takes care of the house affairs and takes care of her child. They gets along with little food. They were just living with little things. 

  One day, after the woman sent her husband to work, she took her son with her for the bazaar market and went on the road. Then they saw three lovely old wisemen under a tree.

  These three wisemen were having a nice conversation. They watched them for a while and continued on their way. They were long gone and reached the bazaar of the city.They went araund the stalls, walked around the shops,took their needs and set out to go back home again.

  They walked, walked, and as they approached the house, they saw three old cute wisemen sitting under the tree in the same way and chatting. The boy said to his mother, ''Mommy, I loved these old people.'' When the boy said that, his mother smiled and said, ''My son, I liked, too.'' Then the women and her son came home. The women was immersed in the kitchen and prepared a modest but magnificent table for her family with the things she bought from the bazaar.

  Then it was evening.While the carpenter was coming home from work, he also noticed that three old wisemen were sitting under the tree near the house. The carpenter greeted them, smiled and entered his house.

  While talking to his wife, the woman said that ''I saw three old wisemen under the tree outside. They were sitting there chatting while we were going to the market. On my way back, I saw them sitting in the same way and chatting''.Her husband said ''I saw the same men, they were still sitting there chatting''. The woman smiled and said to her husband,

   ''Who nows what they ate for so many hours, are their bellies hungry or full?  Let's go and invite them too. Let them sit at this table for favor. What do you say?'' When the women said that, her husband said, it would be very nice. The carpenter said to his son,''Come on, go and call them. Let them come, sit at this table together and let`s eat together.'' said.

  The boy rushed outside to call those old people and went near the tree. “Sir said, my father greets  you. He invited you to our table in our  house. Let's eat together, what do you say? said. The oldest said: son, we, three of us, cannot come to this house at once. You can only summon one of us.

  My name is Affection, the name of the wiseman you see here  is Property and the other is called Position. Go home, tell your daddy, whichever of the three of us you  invite , he should come to your house.

  When he said that, the child was very surprised, but did not insist, rushed home again and told his parents what had happened.

The woman and her husband were first surprised. But they understood that there is a wisdom, a secret in this business. The boy said to his daddy, I think we should call Property. Property means wealth.

  If he comes to our table, we will be rich; We live in comfort, peace and abundance.The carpenter thought for a moment, and what his son said made perfect sense to him.

But then suddenly something else came to mind."I think let's call Position. Because position means to rise. I am an ordinary carpenter.The family started to think little by little among themselves.

  Woman turned to her son and her husband  and said to them: "You say well, you say it well.Ultimately, the family thought about it and decided to choose the property. The boy went to the 3 old men and said that their choice was in favor of property. The child and property entered the house.

  And from the moment they entered the house, they began to live in wealth and abundance.The family was not as connected and happy as before. But they were not aware of this. Because the goods had painted their eyes and they thought the property could fix everything. 

But then, while the boy was playing outside, he saw two old men and imagined how different things would have been if they had chosen. . Afterwards he realized that they had to choose Affection in the first place and went home crying and spoke to his family. The family realized how logical what their son had said and regretted their decision. 

Eventually they went to choose Affection, but the old men were not there this time. They returned home with sadness and were very surprised by what they saw. Three old men were also there. Affection explained the situation to the family, who’s that unable to understand what was happening,

“You chose property at first because you thought the property would bring everything, but if you chose Affection, you would have both the position, the property, and the Affection. You realized you made a mistake and now you have each of us. " The family thought how meaningful this was, and they all lived together in peace, abundance, and love.
