He's only got a he's uh he has so little money he can only have one one child he can't afford any more, and he's got this broken down horse and he sort of shakes his head, You poor man, you have so little.
And then one day the horse escapes and he said, Oh my gosh, you had so little, now you have even less.
And what what what terrible bad luck.
And the f and the farmer says, Well, maybe yes, you know, maybe no.
Life is long, it's it's hard to say.
And the guy shakes his head and walks away.
And then uh a couple weeks later the the horse returned and and it somewhere along the line he'd run into a
A group of wild horses, a herd of wild horses, and and brought two back with it.
So now they went from one horse to no horse to three horses.
And he says, Oh my, what luck?
And they and to in the again, the farmer being a philosophical answer, maybe yes, maybe no, life is long, it's hard to say.
And he gets to w the business of uh of breaking the horse.
So his son is out there working on breaking the loud horse and gets thrown and breaks his leg terribly.
And again, as you can imagine, oh
Oh what terrible luck, you know, maybe yes, maybe no.
And then finally word comes around that the emperor's looking to raise an army to to go and and fight the Mongols.
And every household needs to send one son.
But his son one and only son cannot go because he's broken his leg.
And so so we know that you know from all of us were own own experiences.
I mean, I have all sorts of things in my background that were really hard and and I'd really rather not relive them.
