14.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 strong horse,he used an old horse to plow(犁) 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 said,"What a lucky man!"And the farmer said,"We'll see."
A couple of days later,the new horse jumped a fence and ran away.Everyone in the village shook their heads and said,"What a poor guy!"The farmer smiled and said,"We'll see."
Finally,the horse found his way home,and everyone again said,"What a lucky man!"
The farmer said,"______."
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(征兵).When they saw that the farmer's son had a broken leg,they decided not to recruit him.
Everyone said,"What a lucky young man!"The farmer smiled again,and said,"We'll see."
There's no use in overacting(反应过度)to the events of our everyday lives.Many times what looks likes a bad thing,may actually be a gift in return.And when our hearts are in the right place,all events are gifts that we can learn valuable lessons from.

分析 从前在中国中部地区有一个农民,他没有太多钱,他只有一皮马帮他犁田.有一天,马死了,村里每个人都说这是一件多么不好的事情,但是农民很平静说"再看看吧!",村里的每个人都很欣赏他,送给他一匹马,人们又说:"多么幸运啊",几天之后马跑了,农民还是笑笑"再看看吧!".
过了几个月,这匹马自己跑回来了,邻居们听说这个事情之后,又纷纷跑来道贺.农民说:"再看看吧!"
农民的儿子一不小心从马背上摔下来跌断了腿.邻居们知道后,劝说不要太伤心,没想到农民淡淡的对大家说:"再看看吧!"过了不久,军队来征兵,看见农民的儿子腿断了,就没有让他的儿子去,人生中的很多事情,冥冥中自有注定,一件事情是福是祸,往往不是表象可以判定的,凡事顺其自然,遇到顺心的事不要太得意,遇到沮丧挫折的时候也不要太灰心丧志,淡然处之.
