An old Chinese farmer lost
his best stallion one day and his neighbor came around
to express his regrets, but the farmer just said, "Who
knows what is good and what is bad."
The next day the stallion
returned bringing with him 3 wild mares. The neighbor
rushed back to celebrate with the farmer, but the old
farmer simply said, "Who knows what is good and what is
bad."
The following day, the
farmer's son fell from one of the wild mares while
trying to break her in and broke his arm and injured his
leg. The neighbor came by to check on the son and give
his condolences, but the old farmer just said, "Who
knows what is good and what is bad."
The next day the army came
to the farm to conscript the farmer's son for the
war,
but found him invalid and left him with his father. The
neighbor thought to himself, "Who knows
what is good and
what is bad."
