　　A Gambler's(赌徒) Fate(命运)

　　When the couple(夫妇) arrived in Los Angeles, the husband became fascinated(着迷) by the plush(豪华的) casino(赌场) and started betting on(下赌在。。。上) all the attractions(吸引人的东西). After four days, they had just two dollars left. "Let me go to the casino alone," the man told his wife, "I've got feeling that I'll be lucky today."

　　Once downstairs, he went to the roulette(轮盘赌博) table and put his last two dollars on No. 14, red. His number won. He continued betting and winning. Within an hour, he had acquired(获得) $5000. Feeling that his luck was about to change, he picked up his chips(筹码) and walked toward the cashier(收银员).

　　Just before he reached her, he felt one final urge(冲动) to bet. He went back to the roulette table and put everything on No. 10, black. The wheel spun(旋转) round and round and finally stopped on No. 12, red. Heartbroken(伤心欲碎的), the fellow returned to his room.

　　"Well," his wife asked anxiously(急切地), "how did you make out(进展)?"

　　"I lost two dollars," he said.
