Ⅴ. Answer the questions.
Once upon a time, there lived an old man with his son on the border between two countries. They both enjoyed riding horses. One day, his son told his father, “Daddy, one of our good horses has gone missing. Perhaps it has run across the border into the neighbouring country.”
Hearing that, however, the old man wasn’t so surprised, “All right. It may not be a bad thing.”
Several months later, the missing horse came back with a fine horse from the neighbouring country. This time, his son felt excited about it. But his father said calmly, “Well, but this may bring us bad luck.”
One day, the boy was having fun riding on the fine horse. It was running forward fast when the boy fell off and broke his legs. The old man wasn’t so sorry for the poor boy, “This accident may bring us good luck in the future.”
A year later, all the young men in the country had to join a war. Most of them fought and died in battles. Luckily, the old man’s son couldn’t enter the war because his legs had been broken.
1. Where did the old man and his son live?
2. How did the son feel when the missing horse came back with a new fine horse?
3. What happened to the boy when he was riding the fine horse?
4. Why didn’t the old man’s son have to join the war?
