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.
