Once upon a time, there was a farmer in the central region of China.

He didn't have a lot of money and, instead of a tractor, he used an old horse to plow his field.

　　One afternoon, while working in the field, the horse dropped dead.

Everyone in the village said, "Oh, what a horrible thing to happen.

"　　The farmer said simply, "We'll see.

"　　He was so at peace and so calm, that everyone in the village got together and, admiring his attitude, gave him a new horse as a gift.

　　Everyone's reaction now was, "What a lucky man.

" And the farmer said, "We'll see.

"　　A couple days later, the new horse jumped a fence and ran away.

Everyone in the village shook their heads and said, "What a poor fellow!

　　The farmer smiled and said, "We'll see.

"　　Eventually, the horse found his way home, and everyone again said, "What a fortunate man.

"　　The farmer said, "We'll see.

"　　Later in the year, the farmer's young boy went out riding on the horse and fell and broke his leg.

Everyone in the village said, "What a shame for the poor boy.

"　　The farmer said, "We'll see.

"　　Two days later, the army came into the village to draft new recruits.

When they saw that the farmer's son had a broken leg, they decided not to recruit him.

　　Everyone said, "What a fortunate young man.

"　　The farmer smiled again and said, "We'll see.

"　　Moral of the story: There's no use in overreacting to the events and circumstances of our everyday lives.

Many times what looks like a setback, may actually be a gift in disguise.

And when our hearts are in the right place, all events and circumstances are gifts that we can learn valuable lessons from.
