Only to be told once again "Who knows what is good or bad? True this time too; the next day the farmer's son tried to tame one of the wild horses and fell off, breaking his leg.

And once again the farmer was correct, for this time, the king of that land had started a war and the following day soldiers came by to draft young men into the army, but because of his injury the son was not taken.
Translation:
從前有個農夫，他的馬跑掉了，他的鄰居拜訪他並為他感到難過，但那農夫說：「誰知這是好的或壞的？」而那農夫的想法是對的。 第二天，那匹馬跑回來了，並帶了他在逃跑期間所見的十一匹野馬一起回來，那農夫的鄰居再次來找他，並為他祝賀，但那農夫說：「誰知這是好的或壞的？」而那農夫的想法這次又是對的。 那之後的第二天，那農夫的兒子嘗試馴服野馬，但卻不慎墜地並摔斷了一條腿。他的鄰居再拜訪他，並表示自己有難過，但那農夫又說道：「誰知這是好的或壞的？」而那農夫的想法這次又是對的。 這國家的統治者發起了戰爭，之後國家的士兵來到，並徵召年輕人當兵，但那農夫的兒子因摔斷腿的緣故，而沒有被徵召。

夫禍福之轉而相生，其變難見也。近塞上之人有善術者，馬無故亡而入胡，人皆弔之。其父曰：「此何遽不為福乎！」居數月，其馬將胡駿馬而歸，人皆賀之。其父曰：「此何遽不能為禍乎！」家富良馬，其子好騎，墮而折其髀，人皆弔之。其父曰：「此何遽不為福乎！」居一年，胡人大入塞，丁壯者引弦而戰，近塞之人，死者十九，此獨以跛之故，父子相保。故福之為禍，禍之為福，化不可極，深不可測也。
