Once upon a time
There was a Chinese farmer
Who lost a horse
Ran away
And all the neighbors
Came round that evening
And said
That's too bad
And he said maybe
Maybe
The next day the horse came back
And brought seven wild horses with it
And all the neighbors came around and said
Why, that's great, isn't it?
And he said, maybe

Maybe
Maybe
And he said, maybe
And he said, maybe
Maybe
Maybe
And he said maybe

The next day, his son
Was attempting to
Tame one of these horses
And was riding it
And was thrown and broke his leg
And all the neighbors
Came round in the evening and said
Well, that's too bad, isn't it?
The farmer said maybe
Maybe
The next day
The conscription officers came around
Looking for people for the army
And they rejected his son
Because he had a broken leg
And all the neighbors
Came around that evening
And said
Isn't that wonderful?
And he said, maybe
And he said, maybe
Maybe
Maybe
And he said, maybe
And he said, maybe
Maybe
Maybe
And he said, maybe

The whole process of nature
Is an integrated process
Of immense complexity
And it is really impossible to tell
Whether anything that happens in it
Is good or bad
Because you never know
What will be the consequences
Of a misfortune
Or
You never know
What will be the consequences
Of good fortune
