from What Grandpa Told Me: Bedtime Stories for Kids · host Leopold Hart

A children's bedtime story about change, inspired by an old folktale of a farmer and his horse.Leo is moving far away tomorrow, and he doesn't want to go. On his last evening at home, his grandpa sits beside him and tells him the story, and a few words worth remembering: maybe good, maybe bad, we'll see.For children 4 to 8, and whoever sits beside them.About the tale: Grandpa's story retells Sai Weng Shi Ma, the old man who lost his horse, first written down in China more than two thousand years ago in the Huainanzi. "Who knows if it is good luck or bad luck" is still an everyday saying in Chinese today. We kept the farmer, the horse, and the shrug, and retold the rest for ages 4 to 8.
