Once there lived an old man named Amar in a village in the middle of mountains. He had a son called Dhruv, whom he loved very much. Dhruv was studying in a city which is too far from his father's village.

Amar lived and worked alone. He was kind, friendly and all the people in village liked him. People knew that Amar needed the help of his son dhruv, who is a young hardworking person. But Amar never complained about it. 

People used to come to Amar's place and will help them. Shiva, Amar's neighbour said," It's bad luck for you to live alone in this village". Amar said ," Bad luck or Good luck, who knows?" . Shiva looks Amar with confusion🙄 as he don't understand Amar's words.

One day Amar's son🚶 came back to village. The people in village are happy for him and they all came to his home. “ Now your son has come back, your house is full of good luck” they said. Amar said with smile, “ good luck or bad luck, who knows?”

Life was hard in village and everyone was poor there. But the old man Amar and his son were not as poor as others. They had a horse🐎, which can do work of 4 men in the farm.

One morning, the Dhruv left the stable open. So that the horse ran away . Dhruv was very sad."Working in farm without horse will be hard. What will we do now?", he asked his father. All people in village felt sad again for old man and his son. “ This is very bad luck” said the villagers. But Amar didn't look worried about the horse. “Good luck or bad luck, who knows” he said.

That afternoon some people saw old man's horse in wild. So his son went to look for the horse. After few hours he found his horse eating grass quietly near a wild horse. Dhruv brought two horses home. Villagers felt happy for the old man. “Your good luck has comeback again”, they shouted.

Dhruv liked the wild horse 🐴 so much. So he decided to tame it. “ Be careful son, you have lived in city you don't know much about taming a horse” Amar said worriedly. Dhruv replied “ Don't worry dad, when I've tamed this horse we will have 2 horses in the farm”.

But next day, dhruv fell from the wild horse and broke his leg. It was a big problem. A man with bad legs can't work but need to eat. People came to visit the Amar again. They said, “ your bad luck has comeback again”. But he smiled and said," good luck or bad luck, who knows?" People thought what good luck is there in breaking legs!

At that time, there was a huge war between East and West of the country. All the young man in the village had to become soldiers in army and leave for war. Villagers bid goodbye to their sons while crying. They knew many of this young man will be dead in few days. 

But the soldiers left old man's son Dhruv behind. What good was a soldier with bad legs to an army! 

Atlast the villagers understood the wise words of Amar. They came to visit the old men. “Your bad luck has been changed to good luck”, they said. The Amar replied smilingly," Good luck or Bad luck, who knows?
