An ancient Chinese story

There is an ancient Chinese story about a peasant whose horse ran away.
His neighbors extended their sympathies at the misfortune, he responded, "Maybe".
The next day the horse returned followed by 6 wild horses.
The neighbors exclaimed at his good luck. He said , "Maybe".
The next day while trying to ride a wild horse his son broke his leg.
"Too bad!", said the neighbors. He said , "Maybe"
The next day the government officers came by to conscript soldiers, but the son was excused for his injury.
When the neighbors exclaimed how well it all worked out, he simply said, "Maybe".
