The Wise Old Horses
故事全文
In the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi led Guan Zhong and his ministers to attack the State of Guzhu. They set off in spring. But by the time they won the battle and prepared to go home, it was already winter. As the way home looked very different from when they left, no one knew which way to go. In the end, they got lost, and no one knew what to do.
Just then, Guan Zhong suddenly had an idea. He told Duke Huan of Qi, “An old horse would know its way home. ”
Duke Huan of Qi thought this was a great idea, and asked for a couple of old horses to be put in front of the army, so that they could follow the horses home. Miraculously, the old horses moved in the same direction. The army followed closely behind them, and finally found their way home.
