Once Upon A Time
Once upon a time..
There was a farmer who lived in a poor country village
He was considered very well-to-do because he owned a horse
Which he used for ploughing and for transport
One day his horse ran away
All his neighbours exclaimed at how
terrible this was
But the farmer simply said
'Maybe'
A few days later the horse returned and brought two wild horses with it.
The neighbours all rejoiced at his good fortune
But the farmer simply said
'Maybe'
The next day the farmers son tried to ride one of the wild horses
The horse threw him and he fell off and broke his leg.
The neighbours all offered their sympathy for his misfortune
The farmer simply said
'Maybe'
The next week conscription officers came into the village to take young men for the army
They refused to take the farmers son because of his broken leg
When the neighbours told him how lucky he was the farmer again replied ...
'Maybe'...

For a few minutes every day close your eyes and listen to the sound of silence.
It's so often the most beautiful music of all....
