MARILYN: My uncle once told me about a warrior who had a fine stallion. Everybody said how lucky he was to have such a horse. "Maybe," he said. One day the stallion ran off. The people said the warrior was unlucky. "Maybe," he said. Next day, the stallion returned, leading a string of fine ponies. The people said it was very lucky. "Maybe," the warrior said. Later, the warrior's son was thrown from one of the ponies and broke his leg. The people said it was unlucky. "Maybe," the warrior said. The next week, the chief led a war party against another tribe. Many young men were killed. But, because of his broken leg, the warrior's son was left behind, and so was spared.
