Three Girls Who Went To A Boys’ School
Once more something from Archive.org, presented without comment. Footnotes are from the text, not by me. ⇒ Archive.org ⇒ Chinese fables and folk stories by Davis, Mary Hayes; Chow-Leung (ca1908)
(I don’t know what the names [Lily, Beauty, Moon] would be in Chinese, nor about “Qui-Chu”. If I can find out, or somone is kind enough to tell me, I’ll add them at the end of post.)

A great Chinese fable (塞翁失马)
A farmer had only one horse. One day, his horse ran away.
His neighbors said, “I'm so sorry. This is such bad news. You must be so upset.”
The man just said, “We'll see.”
A few days later, his horse came back with twenty wild horses following. The man and his son corraled all 21 horses.
His neighbors said, “Congratulations! This is such good news. You must be so happy!”
The man just said, “We'll see.”
One of the wild horses kicked the man's only son, breaking both his legs.
His neighbors said, “I'm so sorry. This is such bad news. You must be so upset.”
The man just said, “We'll see.”
The country went to war, and every able-bodied young man was drafted to fight. The war was terrible and killed every young man, but the farmer's son was spared, since his broken legs prevented him from being drafted.
His neighbors said, “Congratulations! This is such good news. You must be so happy!”
The man just said, “We'll see.”
Chinese Fable
I read this fantastic excerpt from the book, Brotherhood by Deepak and Sanjiv Chopra. This passage perfectly describes how people get too busy living life and not really live their life.
A spiritual master is walking in the evening with a disciple.
The master is discoursing a familiar theme, that the world is an illusion. Reality hides behind a mask, sending us invisible messages. We will never be free until we tear the mask away and see what lies beyond.
The disciple is baffled and resistant. “I believe in the world that I can see. Why shouldn’t I? It makes no sense to say that the world is a dream.”
The master replies, “It will, once you realize that you are the one being dreamed.”
This is a sculptural interpretation of a Chinese fable: Fox and Chicken. This famous Chinese fable describes a fox, who visits chickens and brings presents. Moral: Beware of those who bear gifts. It is at this website: http://www.chinesefablesculpture.com/portfolio/fox_and_chicken.htm
