I Can't Move That Hoe Without the Horse

A Chinese farmer and his son are farming radishes on land that they don't own. They're given 70% of the land, but live off at 30%. Their whole financial legacy is tied up into a work horse. One day while he's working the land, one of the horses kicks him in the leg. He can't get out of chair or move hoe without the horse. The man gets back on his horse, and thousand men ride off to their death.
