The Story
Once there was a farmer who owned a beautiful horse. but one day his horse ran away.
Upon hearing the news, his neighbours came to visit. “That’s such bad luck,” they said.
“We’ll see,” replied the farmer.
The very next morning, his horse came back and it brought three wild horses with it. “Wow,” said the neighbours, “that’s such good luck.”
“We’ll see,” replied the farmer.
The next day his son tried riding one of the wild horses, but it threw him off and he hurt his leg. The neighbours said, ‘That’s bad luck.”
“We’ll see,” replied the farmer.
The next day, soldiers came to the village and made all the young men join the army. But they didn’t take the farmer’s son because his leg was hurt. “That’s such good luck,” said the neighbours.
“We’ll see,” said the farmer.
