The issue you're running into is in the default index view and controller action you have recursive set to 0 for speed reasons. A quick fix would be to set that value higher to retrieve comments associated with posts.
A better solution would be to use the Containable behavior and limit it to just 3 comments and what fields you intend on showing. Use those Google skills and checkout the cookbook docs for containable, there's an example that's almost exactly what you need written for you.
