OT Luck
A farmer and his son worked a small farm, with only one horse to pull the
plow. One day the horse ran away.
"How terrible" sympathized the neighbors. "What bad luck"
"Good, bad, who knows, we'll see", the farmer replied.
A week later, the horse returned from the mountains leading three wild mares
into the barn.
"What wonderful luck" said the neighbors.
"Good, bad, who knows, we'll see" Answered the old man.
The next day, the son, trying to tame one of the horses, fell and broke his
leg.
"How terrible", sympathized the neighbors, "What bad luck".
"Good, bad, who knows, we'll see", replied the farmer.
The army came to all the farms to take the young men off to war.
The farmer's son was of no use to them, so he was spared.
"Good, bad, who knows, we'll see."
