There was once a peasant, poor but wise, that worked the land harshly with his son. A day the son told him: ¡Father, what misfortune! Has gone the horse us.

¿Why you call misfortune it?.Responded the father,we will see what brings the time...

  After a few days the horse returned, accompanied by another horse. ¡Father, what luck! .This time exclaimed the boy .Our horse has brought another horse.  

¿Why you call luck it? , replaced the father. We see what brings the time.

In a few days more, the boy wanted to mount the new horse, and this, not usual to the rider, he was riled and he threw him to the floor. The boy was broken a leg.

¡Father, what misfortune! ,the boy exclaimed now. ¡I have broken my leg! And the father, taking up again his experience and wisdom, he sentenced .

¿Why you call misfortune it? We see what brings the time.

The boy was not convinced of the philosophy of the father, but he whined in his bed.

Few days later passed for the village the envoys of the king, seeking youths to carry them to him to the war. They came to the house of the elder, but as they saw the youth with their leg splinted, they left it and they continued of long.

  The young understood then that never one must give neither the misfortune neither the fortune as absolute, but always one must consider all the possibilities...  

The Bible says: "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven …Nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will reveré him."
