Walking down the beaten path the hungry old veteran with six gold coins found himself in an old town, and immediately headed to the market. After spending all of his coins, the hungry old man with three rolls and a cup of honey went on and left the town. As he wandered lost in thought and reminiscing over the terrible memories of war, he came across another old man, a beggar, he had a deck of cards. The old beggar with the deck of cards asked if the hungry old veteran with three rolls and a cup of honey if he wanted to play a game.
“Oh but of course” said the hungry old veteran with three rolls and a cup of honey, after playing and losing three games he told the old beggar with a deck of cards, “Well wasnt that a great game you're quite good player.”
“Good enough for a gold piece?” asked the old beggar with a deck of cards.
“I’m so sorry but i've spent all of my gold in that town down the way, but i do have a roll and some honey i can give you.” said the hungry old veteran with two rolls and a two thirds cup of honey.
“Thank you, you have shown me great kindness giving me a third of your worldly possessions, here take my deck of cards, as long as you deal the cards you can never lose whatever game you play,” said the old beggar. And with that they said their goodbyes and went on the hungry old veteran with two rolls, a two thirds cup of honey, and a magic deck of cards.
This is weird...
