The Parable of the Chinese Farmer
This Taoist parable is about a poor farmer who loses his horse. When his neighbors say, "that's too bad," the farmer replies, "maybe". Shortly after, the farmer's horse returns with another horse. The parable is about perspective in the moment. It's also known as "The man who lost his horse". The story dates back to the 2nd century B.C. and has its origins in the ancient Chinese essay collection Huainanzi. A popular interpretation of the story is that no events in life are predetermined to be good or bad.
The Story of the Chinese Farmer
This story is about a widowed farmer and his son who work hard with their only horse. One day, the son doesn't lock the stable gate properly and the horse runs away. When the neighbors hear what happened, they tell the farmer that he wouldn't be able to maintain the farm without the horse. The story may teach us to suspend judgment about what is a tragedy or a triumph.
