A Chinese Story

Somewhere in the wilderness of China, an old man lived with his sons. One day a wild white horse arrived and was caught by the oldest son. But the father was not happy.
Son asked: Father, why aren't you happy I caught the horse? It is very good! We needed it!

Is it good or is it bad------we will see

The next day the horse escaped. The son was very sad, but the father said nothing.
Son asked: Father, don' t you care our horse has fled? We've lost it.

Is it good or is it bad-------we will see

And actually, after three days the horse returned with two other horses. Son was very excited, but father was cool. Son couldn,t understand it. Father isn't it a good reason for joy? It is great we have three horses!

Is it good or is it bad------we will see

That evening Son tried to tame one of the horses, but he fell down and broke his leg. Father, I've broken my leg. Don't you think it is awful?

Is it good or is it bad-------we will see

After a few weeks, war broke out. Men were forced to join the army, but the son could not because he had his leg broken.

Was it good or was it bad------We will see.

There was a battle and none of the men from the village came back home.

Is it good or is it bad-------we will see
