What a sad tale! Pretty funny though. I can't help, but connect with the foolish poor man because I know if I were in his situation, I'd probably be just as dumb. I really liked reading this one simply because I wanted to know what happened to his luck. I would really like retelling this tale in a big city in modern America, with the foolish man coming to modern equivalents of those people in the story. I would like to change the ending, too. Maybe make it so that they foolish man learns from his mistakes and confronts his luck. Then after that he learns not to rely on luck, but instead make his own way in life.
Luck is sleeping on the job.
