塞翁失馬焉知非福 》
典故出自---淮南子人間訓
◎故事內容

  從前在邊塞地方有一個村子。
  村子裡有一位被稱為塞翁的老人家,不但見識廣博,且胸襟開闊,對事 坦然,與人不愛計較。
  一天,塞翁家走失了一匹品種優良的白馬,鄰居們紛紛前來安慰,但塞翁卻毫不介意,反而輕輕鬆鬆地說:「丟了一匹馬也不見得是壞事,說不一定還是一件好事呢!」
  幾天後,走失的那匹白馬,不但自己跑回來,且還領著一匹胡人的駿馬來。鄰居們聽見這消息,都紛紛前來道賀,可是塞翁卻一臉嚴肅地說:
  「不必高興的太早,這件是說不定會帶來災禍呢!」
  幾個月後,塞翁的兒子騎著那匹胡馬去打獵,不小心從馬背上摔下來,跌斷了腿。鄰人又前來安慰。可是塞翁卻一點也不難過,他望了望兒子,說:「世界上的事,往往是出乎意料的。這件事看來是個災禍,但究竟是福還是禍,可就難說了!」
  一年後,北邊的胡人領著大隊人馬南下入侵。村子裡的年輕人全都被徵召入伍作戰。結果大多數的人都在這場戰役中犧牲了,而塞翁的兒子因為斷了一條腿,可以免服兵役,而保全了一條性命。
