[quote=ZOEY,259429]No.1 塞翁失马 (Sai 4 Weng 1 Shi 1 Ma 3). It means ‘the old frontiersman losing his horse---a blessing in disguise.’ History: Long long ago, there was an old frontiersman whose son had raised many horses. One day, his son felt very sad because he had lost his one horse. The old frontiersman comforted his son:“It doesn’t matter. You just lost one horse.” After several days, the lost horse came back with another horse. His son felt quite happy and rode his horse for fun. Unluckily, he fell from the horse and broke his leg. The old man said to his son:“It is not as worse as you thought. At least, your life was not in danger.” Several days later, a war happened. Due to his broken leg, his son needn’t join the army to fight in the war. The oldman said:“It is better to remain with his family than risk his life in the war.” [/quote]
