During the Warring States Period, near the northern border town, there lived an old man named Sai Weng. Sai Weng keeps many horses. One day, one of his horses suddenly got lost. When the neighbors heard about it, they all came to comfort him and advised him not to worry too much. When he is old, he should pay more attention to his health. Seeing someone comforting him, Sai Weng smiled and said, "Losing a horse is not a big loss, and maybe it will bring some blessings."

The neighbors were amused by Sai Weng's words. Losing the horse is obviously a bad thing, but he thinks it may be a good thing, obviously just comforting himself. A few days later, the lost horse not only went home automatically, but also brought back a Xiongnu war horse.

When the neighbors heard about it, they all admired Sai Weng's foresight and congratulated him one after another, saying, "You still have foresight. Not only did you not lose your horse, but you were lucky to bring back a good horse. "

Sai Weng listened to his neighbor's congratulations, but he was not happy at all. He said anxiously, "A good horse for nothing is not necessarily a blessing, but it may cause some trouble."

Neighbors think his posturing is purely the cunning of the elderly. I was very happy, but I didn't mean to say it.

Sai Weng has an only son who likes riding horses very much. He found that the horse he brought back was a good horse, with long hooves, loud neighing, fat and fierce. He rides a horse every day. He is proud of himself.

One day, he was so happy that he ran into a horse, galloped, fell, fell off his horse and broke his leg. When the neighbors heard about it, they came to offer their condolences.

Sai Weng said, "Nothing. It may be a blessing to be able to save your life if you break your leg. " Neighbors think he's talking nonsense again. They can't figure out what good luck a broken leg will bring.

Soon, Xiongnu soldiers invaded on a large scale and young people were recruited into the army. Sai Weng's son can't join the army because he broke his leg. All the young men who joined the army died in battle, but only Sai Weng's son saved his life.

Near the northern border of China, there lived a man who was proficient in Taoism. His horse, for no reason, entered the territory of the northern tribe. Everyone sympathized with him.

"Maybe it will become a blessing soon," said his father.

A few months later, his cattle came back with a good horse from the north. Everyone congratulated him.

"Maybe this will soon be the cause of misfortune," said his father.

Because he was rich and had a lot of good horses, his son became fond of riding horses and eventually broke his thigh bone from his horse. Everyone sympathized with him.

"Maybe it will become a blessing soon," said his father.

A year later, northern tribes began to invade the border areas on a large scale. All the strong young men took up arms to fight the invaders. As a result, nine out of ten men died near the border. The man's son didn't take part in the battle, because he was lame, so both the boy and his father survived.
