No, he didn’t.
Yes, he was. Because unlucky things may turn out well, and good things could go wrong too. You never know what will happen.

Peter: Sure. Once a lion caught a mouse. The mouse was afraid. He said, “Please let me go! One day I will help you!” The lion laughed and let the mouse go. Later, a hunter caught the lion in a net. The mouse helped the lion then. He bit through the net and set the lion free!
Chen Jie: I like that story. Kindness is never wasted.

Conversation 2
Emma: What’s your favourite story, Teng Fei?
Teng Fei: Oh, I like this one. A farmer lost his horse. His neighbours said, “How unlucky!” But the farmer just said, “Maybe.” Later, his horse came back with seven other horses. People said, “That’s great!” But the farmer said, “Maybe.” Later, his son broke his leg when he tried to ride a horse. People said, “That’s terrible!” Again, the farmer said, “Maybe.” Well, because of his leg, the son didn’t have to join a war. That saved his life!
Emma: I see. Unlucky things may turn out well. And good things could go wrong too.
Teng Fei: Yes, you never know.
