Grandpa Sai's Story – When Bad Things Turn Good!

Old Sai lived in Happy Village with his fine horse named Red.

One morning, the stable was empty! Red was gone!

"How unlucky!" the villagers sighed and shook their heads.

But Grandpa smiled: "Who knows if this isn't a good thing?"

Three days later, Red came back... leading five wild horses!

"Such good luck!" The villagers brought flowers.

The grandson tried riding a new horse—"Thump!" He hurt his leg!

"Oh dear! This is terrible!" The villagers fretted.

Grandpa helped him up: "Let’s wait and see."

Soldiers came shouting: "All healthy boys must join the war!"

Because of his hurt leg, the boy stayed safely with Grandpa.

The boys who went to war... never came home.

Now the villagers understood Grandpa’s words.

When something bad happens— Take a deep breath like Grandpa Sai and say: "MAYBE SOMETHING GOOD WILL COME?"
