Thousands of years ago, there was a clever old man in a village. One day, he lost his horse. Other people thought it was a bad thing, but the old man didn't think so.
Some days later, his horse came back with another fine horse. Other people felt happy for him,but the old man said, “It may be a bad thing.”
Two days later, the old man's son broke his leg when he was riding the horse. It was bad, but the old man said, “This may not be a bad thing.”
Some days later, all the healthy young men were caught to fight a war(打仗). The old man's son was safe because he could not walk.
As the saying goes(俗话说), “Bad luck often brings good luck.”
