Maybe it’s good

He would always answer them,  “Maybe, it’s good. Maybe, it’s bad… You never know!”

One day the stallion ran away. All the villagers came to console the old man. They told him it was so bad and he was so unluky.

The old man answered them,  “Maybe, it’s good. Maybe, it’s bad… You never know!”

A week later the stallion returned bringing with him, twelve beautiful mares.

“Maybe, it’s good. Maybe, it’s bad… You never know!”
