One night, during a great storm, they all escaped. The other warriors came to comfort him. They said, \u201cHow unlucky you are. You must be very angry to have lost your horses.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWhy?\u201d replied the warrior.<br \/>\n\u201cBecause you have lost all your wealth. Now you have nothing,\u201d they responded.<br \/>\n\u201cHow do you know?\u201d he asked.<br \/>\nThe next day the eight horses returned bringing with them twelve new stallions. The warriors returned and joyously announced that now the old warrior must be very happy.<br \/>\n\u201cWhy?\u201d was his response.<br \/>\n\u201cBecause now you are even richer than before.\u201d They responded.<br \/>\n\u201cHow do you know?\u201d he again responded.<br \/>\nThe following morning, the warrior\u2019s young son got up early to break in the new horses. He was thrown and broke both his legs. The warriors came, once more, and talked about how angry the old warrior must be at his misfortune and how terrible it was for the boy to break both his legs.<br \/>\n\u201cHow do you know?\u201d the warrior said once more.<br \/>\nTwo weeks passed. Then the chief announced that all able-bodies men and boys must join war party to fight against a neighbouring tribe. The Lakotas won but at great cost, as many men and young boys were killed. When the remains warriors returned, they told the old warrior that it was lucky his son had two broken legs, otherwise he could have been killed or injured in the great battle.<br \/>\n\u201cHow do you know?\u201d the old warrior replied.<br \/>\nThe new Roman Walks is full of adventures.
