A long time ago, there lived an old man. He raised the finest horses in all the land. His family was happy and he was rich in friends, too.
One night, the man's prized horse, a big black horse, was lost. The old man was sad. Friends came to say how sorry they were. The old man said only, "Why wouldn't this be good luck?"
Months later, the villagers saw the black horse coming back, leading two white horses. The villagers were happy for the return of the old man's horse and the addition (增加) of two more. The old farmer thanked them for their happiness and said quietly for all to hear, "Could this be a disaster (灾祸)?"
The old man's only son loved horses, so it was natural for the old man to give his son the black horse. The old man began to teach his son to ride. Unluckily, the boy fell off the horse and broke his legs. No one knew if he could ever walk again. Everyone was sad, and came to tell the old man how sad they were. The old man just looked at them and said. "Why wouldn't this be a blessing (福气)?"
In a few weeks, the enemies invaded (侵略) the land. The king sent his soldiers to enlist (征募) one young man from each family to fight against the enemies. When they reached the old man's village, they took one son from each home. At the home of the old man, they found the disabled (残疾的) boy, and they did not take him. As a result, the son stayed away from the war and saved his life.
