Fable- Fate is in Your
Own Hands
Once upon a time, there was a
general who was leading his army into battle against an enemy
ten times the size of his own.
Along the way to the battle
field, the troops stopped by a small temple to pray for
victory.
The general held up a coin and
told his troops, "I am going to implore the gods to help us
crush our enemy. If this coin lands with the heads on top,
we'll win. If it's tails, we'll lose. Our fate is in the hands
of the gods. Let's pray wholeheartedly."
After a short prayer, the
general tossed the coin. It landed with the heads on top. The
troops were overjoyed and went into the battle with high
siprit.
Just as predicted, the smaller
army won the battle.
The soldiers were exalted,
"It's good to have the gods on our side! No one can change what
they have determined."
"Really?" The general show
them the coin--both sides of it were heads.
