K\u00f6y\u00fcn birinde ya\u015fl\u0131 bir adam ve o\u011flu ya\u015farm\u0131\u015f. Adam \u00e7ok fakirmi\u015f ama Kral bile onu k\u0131skan\u0131rm\u0131\u015f…
\n\u00d6yle dillere destan bir beyaz at\u0131 varm\u0131\u015f ki Kral bu at i\u00e7in ihtiyara nerdeyse hazinesinin tamam\u0131n\u0131 teklif etmi\u015f, ama dam satmaya yana\u015fmam\u0131\u015f.
\n“Bu at, bir at de\u011fil benim i\u00e7in bir dost, insan dostunu satar m\u0131?” demi\u015f.
\nBir sabah kalkm\u0131\u015flar ki, at yok. Kom\u015fular\u0131, ihtiyar\u0131n ba\u015f\u0131na toplanm\u0131\u015f, “Ne k\u00f6t\u00fc talih! Ke\u015fke at\u0131 krala satsayd\u0131n, \u00f6mr\u00fcn\u00fcn sonuna kadar beyler gibi ya\u015fard\u0131n. \u015fimdi ne paran var, ne de at\u0131n” demi\u015f.
\n\u0130htiyar ise, “\u0130yi talih, k\u00f6t\u00fc talih kim bilebilir ki?” diye cevap vermi\u015f.
\nBunun \u00fczerine kom\u015fular\u0131 ihtiyara g\u00fclm\u00fc\u015f ve onunla alay etmi\u015fler. Aradan zaman ge\u00e7mi\u015f, at bir gece ans\u0131z\u0131n d\u00f6nm\u00fc\u015f. D\u00f6nerken de, vadideki on iki vah\u015fi at\u0131 pe\u015fine tak\u0131p getirmi\u015f. Bunu g\u00f6ren kom\u015fular toplan\u0131p bu kez ihtiyardan \u00f6z\u00fcr dilemi\u015fler.
\n“Ne iyi talih! Sen hakl\u0131 \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131n. At\u0131n\u0131n kaybolmas\u0131 senin i\u00e7in bir talihsizlik de\u011fil, devlet ku\u015fu oldu, \u015fimdi bir at s\u00fcr\u00fcn var” demi\u015fler.
\nYa\u015fl\u0131 adam olanca bilgeli\u011fi ile yine cevap vermi\u015f: “\u0130yi talih, k\u00f6t\u00fc talih kim bilebilir ki?”
\nKom\u015fular bu kez a\u00e7\u0131k\u00e7a dalga ge\u00e7memi\u015fler ama i\u00e7lerinden de k\u0131z\u0131p adam hakk\u0131nda ileri geri konu\u015fmu\u015flar. Bir hafta ge\u00e7meden, vah\u015fi atlar\u0131 terbiye etmeye \u00e7al\u0131\u015fan ihtiyar\u0131n tek o\u011flu attan d\u00fc\u015fm\u00fc\u015f ve aya\u011f\u0131n\u0131 k\u0131rm\u0131\u015f. Evin ge\u00e7imini temin eden o\u011ful \u015fimdi uzun zaman yatakta kalacakm\u0131\u015f.
\nKom\u015fular yine gelmi\u015fler ihtiyara. “Ne k\u00f6t\u00fc talih! Bir kez daha hakl\u0131 \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131n. Bu atlar y\u00fcz\u00fcnden tek o\u011flun baca\u011f\u0131n\u0131 uzun s\u00fcre kullanamayacak. Oysa sana bakacak ba\u015fkas\u0131 da yok. \u015eimdi eskisinden daha fakir, daha zavall\u0131 olacaks\u0131n” demi\u015fler.
\n\u0130htiyar yine ayn\u0131 \u015feyi s\u00f6ylemi\u015f: “\u0130yi talih, k\u00f6t\u00fc talih kim bilebilir ki?”
\nBirka\u00e7 hafta sonra, d\u00fc\u015fmanlar \u00e7ok b\u00fcy\u00fck bir orduyla \u00fclkeye sald\u0131rm\u0131\u015f. Kral son bir \u00fcmitle eli silah tutan b\u00fct\u00fcn gen\u00e7leri askere \u00e7a\u011f\u0131rm\u0131\u015f. K\u00f6ye gelen askerler, ihtiyar\u0131n k\u0131r\u0131k bacakl\u0131 o\u011flu d\u0131\u015f\u0131nda b\u00fct\u00fcn gen\u00e7leri askere alm\u0131\u015flar. K\u00f6y\u00fc matem sarm\u0131\u015f; \u00e7\u00fcnk\u00fc sava\u015f\u0131n kazan\u0131lmas\u0131na imkan yokmu\u015f, giden gen\u00e7lerin ya \u00f6lece\u011fini ya da esir d\u00fc\u015fece\u011fini herkes biliyormu\u015f.
\nKom\u015fular\u0131 yine ya\u015fl\u0131 adama gelip, “Ne iyi talih! Yine hakl\u0131 oldu\u011fun kan\u0131tland\u0131. O\u011flunun baca\u011f\u0131 k\u0131r\u0131k ama hi\u00e7 de\u011filse yan\u0131nda. Oysa bizimkiler belki asla k\u00f6ye denemeyecekler.

\nYa\u015fl\u0131 ve bilge ihtiyar kom\u015fular\u0131na yine ayn\u0131 s\u00f6z\u00fc s\u00f6ylemi\u015f: “\u0130yi talih, k\u00f6t\u00fc talih kim bilebilir ki?”
\n\u00c7inli d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcr Lao Tzu kendisine ait bu \u00f6yk\u00fcy\u00fc \u015fu \u00f6\u011f\u00fctle tamamlar:
\n“Acele karar vermeyin. Hayat\u0131n k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck bir dilimine bak\u0131p tamam\u0131 hakk\u0131nda karar vermekten ka\u00e7\u0131n\u0131n. Karar; akl\u0131n durmas\u0131 gibidir. Karar verdiniz mi, ak\u0131l d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnmeyi, dolay\u0131s\u0131yla geli\u015fmeyi durdurur. Buna ra\u011fmen ak\u0131l, insan\u0131 daima karara zorlar; \u00e7\u00fcnk\u00fc geli\u015fme halinde olmak tehlikelidir ve insan\u0131 huzursuz yapar.
\nOysa gezi asla sona ermez. Bir yol biterken yenisi ba\u015flar. Bir kap\u0131 kapan\u0131rken, ba\u015fkas\u0131 a\u00e7\u0131l\u0131r.
