The Old Man Who Lost His Horse
In ancient China, there is a meaningful story called "An Old Man Who Lost His Horse".
Long ago, in a small village, there lived an old man and his son. One day, the old man's horse ran away, and the neighbors came to comfort(安慰) him, saying he was unlucky. But the old man was calm and told the neighbors that maybe it wasn't a bad thing.
A few days later, the horse returned with a fine wild horse. This time, the neighbors came to congratulate(恭喜) him, saying he was lucky. But the old man was still calm and told them that maybe it wasn't a good thing.
A few days later, the old man's son fell off the wild horse and broke his leg. The neighbors came to comfort him, saying he was really unlucky. The old man told them that maybe it wasn't a bad thing.
Later, war broke out, and the King asked all the able-bodied men in the village to answer the war service. But the old man's son was exempted(免除) from it because of his broken leg. The neighbors were surprised to find that the old man was right.
This story shows us that life has many surprises. Sometimes bad things become good, and what we think is good can become bad. So, we should stay calm and positive when things change, like the old man did.
