One week later, the horse  4  . And it brought  5  there horse. His friends said, “Oh, you are so lucky. Now you have four horses to help you.” The farmer looked at them and once again said. “You never know what will happen.”

The next morning while the farmer’s son was working in the field,  6  of the horses ran into him and the boy fell to the ground. His legs were broken. Many people came to the farmer and expressed their sadness(悲伤地) for his son. But again the farmer said. “You never know what will happen.”

A month  7  the son’s accident, soldiers rode into the village. They shouted, “We are taking every  8   young man to fight.” The soldiers took every young man  9  the farmer’s son.
