A Zen master received a gift,
A very beautiful horse,
In came the neighbors,
Wow! What a beautiful horse!
How lucky of you!
"Is It?" said the Master.
A very beautiful horse,
In came the neighbors,
Wow! What a beautiful horse!
How lucky of you!
"Is It?" said the Master.
Next day his son took away the horse,
He fell down and broke himself,
In came the neighbors,
"Oh! So sad,
How unlucky of him!"
"Is it?" said the Master.
Next day Kings Men raided the village,
And took away the young for war,
In came the villagers,
Your son got saved,
How lucky of him!
"Is It?" said the Master.
