Some friends had not heard this Chinese parable. Sharing because it's always relevant:
A farmer owned a horse. One day, the horse ran away.
The neighbors exclaimed, “Your horse ran away! What terrible luck!”
The farmer replied, “Maybe. We will see.”
A farmer owned a horse. One day, the horse ran away.
The neighbors exclaimed, “Your horse ran away! What terrible luck!”
The farmer replied, “Maybe. We will see.”
A few days later, the horse returned bringing with it a pack of wild horses.
The neighbors exclaimed, “Your horse returned and brought several horses home with him! What great luck!”
The farmer replied, “Maybe. We will see.”
The neighbors exclaimed, “Your horse returned and brought several horses home with him! What great luck!”
The farmer replied, “Maybe. We will see.”
A week later, the farmer’s son was attempting to tame the wild hoses and a horse kicked him, breaking the son's leg.
The neighbors exclaimed, “Your son broke his leg! What terrible luck!”
The farmer replied, “Maybe. We will see.”
The neighbors exclaimed, “Your son broke his leg! What terrible luck!”
The farmer replied, “Maybe. We will see.”
A few weeks later, soldiers marched through town recruiting all of the young men for the army. They did not take the farmer’s son since he only had one working leg.
The neighbors exclaimed, “Your boy was spared. What great luck!”
The farmer replied, “Maybe. We will see.”
The neighbors exclaimed, “Your boy was spared. What great luck!”
The farmer replied, “Maybe. We will see.”
