What's your favorite story? Ten fy. oh, I like this one. A farmer lost his horse. His neighbors 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 sun didn't have to join a war that saved his live. I see unlucky things may turn out well and good things could go wrong too.

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.
What can we learn from the two stories?
Reflection
Kindness is never wasted.
Never look down upon the weak.
Kindness always pays off.
...
A loss may turn out to be a gain.
Every coin has two sides.
Keep calm and peaceful in face of changes.
...
When we read a story, what aspects should we pay attention to?
setting (time and place)
characters
plot(故事情节)
structure
theme(主旨)
moral(寓意)
So we can retell a story from the aspects above.
Pair Work
Which story do you like more? Retell it to a partner.
e.g. Once there was an old man, Saiwong. His horse ran away and neighbors thought it was
bad luck, he said “Maybe”. Later, the horse returned with seven more. People cheered, but he still said “Maybe”. Then his son broke his leg riding a horse. Others felt sorry, he stayed calm with “Maybe”. Eventually, due to the broken leg, his son needn’t join a war. The story tells us misfortunes and fortunes can change and we should always keep a calm and positive attitude.
