Fables and Tales - The Farmer and the Horse — Maybe So, Maybe Not

from This Old Story · host Mutual Pledge Incorporated

A farmer loses his horse, then gains a second; his son breaks a leg, then is spared from war — each time the neighbors cry good luck or bad, and each time the farmer answers only "maybe." The tale asks how little we can know of what a turn of fortune will mean.
