A deck of card, two glasses half-filled and a half-emptied bottle is set on the floor. He has been sitting, cross-legged and with his pensive expression it looked like something was bothering him. He very carefully lifted the deck and shuffled it. He shuffled it for long, in fact too long- more than a minute. He was in no hurry. He then dealt the card carefully, three in front of him and three beside it. After putting rest of the cards on the floor he slowly took the cards which were lying beside the set of cards in front of him. He spotted two tens, each of spade and club. And a king of heart. Looked worried. Then he lifted his cards and what he saw were three different cards- two, five and a nine but all three of them were of diamond. The smile flashed on his face and ran widely over his lips. His eyes got rid of the worry that he had a while ago. Triumphantly, he roared, "I win!" His victorious hand got hold of the glass in front of him, raised it high and gulped the liquor down his throat in one shot. Then he raised another glass and gulped it too in another breath and cried, "Damn! I'm such a loser." He filled both of the glass, recollected all the cards and started shuffling again. He actually was in no hurry.
