A father and his son owned a farm. They did not have many
animals, but they did own a horse. One day the horse ran away.
“How terrible, what bad luck,” said the neighbors.
“Good luck, bad luck, who knows?” replied the farmer.
Several weeks later the horse returned, bringing with him
four wild mares.
“What marvelous luck,” said the neighbors.

young men to war. The farmer’s son was still disabled with his
broken leg, so he was spared. Good luck, bad luck, who knows?
