Fate does not change
Great Japanese warrior Nobunaga decided to attack one enemy that outnumbered ten of his soldiers. He knew that he would win, but his soldiers were not sure. On the way he stopped at a Shinto shrine and said:
- When I get out of the temple, he'll throw a coin. Fall coat of arms - we win, fall figure - lost the battle.
Nobunaga entered the temple and began to pray silently. Then came out of the temple, tossed a coin. Coat of arms fell. Soldiers so furiously rushed into the fight that easily defeated enemy.
- Do not change when operating the hand of fate, - told him adjutant after the battle.
- That's right, do not change - confirmed Nobunaga, showing him fake coins with the arms on both sides.
