Good luck! Bad Luck!

So, once there was a farmer who had one son and one horse.


One day the horse ran away. The neighbor said, "Oh no! What bad luck!"


The farmer said, "Bad luck? Good luck? Who's to say?"


The farmers son went into the forest to find the horse and returned with a whole herd of wild horses.


The neighbor said, "Wow! What good luck!"


The farmer said, "Good luck? Bad luck?" who's to say?


The farmers son set out to break one of the new horses and fell, breaking his leg.


The neighbor said, "Oh no! What bad luck!"

The farmer said, "Bad luck? Good luck? Who's to say?"

The next day the town leaders came to the farmer to take his son to fight a great battle but he couldn't go because of his broken leg.

The neighbor said, "Wow! What good luck!"

The farmer said, "Good luck? Bad luck?" who's to say?

The farmers son couldn't help him care for so many animals so he had to let them all run free again.

The neighbor said, "Oh no! What bad luck!"

The farmer said, "Bad luck? Good luck? Who's to say?"
