Taoist Tale

Once upon a time A farmer sent his son With a horse to graze Upon the mountainside He fell asleep When he awoke the horse was gone Came back without it The neighbors said: oh what bad luck The farmer said: how do you know? Oh how do you know? On the very next day The farmer sent his son Back into the mountains To seek the runaway He found the horse And seven other wild ones He brought them home The neighbors said: oh what good luck The farmer said: how do you know? Oh how do you know On the very next day The farmer sent his son To the wild horses Which needed to be tamed First one he climbed on It threw him down to the ground Broke his arm The neighbors said: oh what bad luck The farmer said: how do you know? Oh how do you know? On the very next day A war was declared And the army men Came thru the countryside Looking for soldiers But they couldn't take anyone With a broken arm The neighbors said: oh what good luck The farmer said: how do you know? Oh how do you know?
