A guy who loved to play horse racing often found himself losing. One day, he dreamed of five horses racing across a wide field. When he woke up, he went out for breakfast and noticed five cars speeding past him. While sitting in the diner and looking around, he could only count five customers in total (including himself). He thought to himself:
– Why is there such a coincidence? Could it be that the heavens are granting me the lucky number 5?
After finishing his meal, he walked home, lost in thought about the number 5. Suddenly, he spotted a little boy holding five ice cream sticks standing by the roadside.
– Alright! This time, it truly seems like luck is on my side. The horse number 5 is definitely going to win – Saying this, he decided to gather all his possessions to buy a betting ticket for horse number 5.
Sitting in the stands, he kept chuckling to himself. This time, he was sure he would win big.
And the miracle of the number 5 happened. His horse number 5 finished in… 5th place.
