The Farmer's Luck

There was a farmer, and one day his prized horse ran away. His neighbors looked at him and said, "Oh! Such bad luck!" And the farmer replied, "Maybe." 

The next day the horse came back with two wild stallions. His neighbors looked to him and said, "Oh! Such good luck!" The farmer replied, "Maybe." 

The next day the farmer's son tried to tame on of the wild stallions but was kicked off, and he broke his leg. His neighbors looked to him and said. "Oh! Such bad luck!" And the farmer again replied, "Maybe." 

But the next day the military came by to draft men for the war, but the son was injured so they were passed over. The farmer's neighbors looked at him and said, "Oh! Such good luck!" And the farmer smiled and replied in kind. 

"Maybe."
