English Original
When the couple arrived in Los Angeles, the husband became fascinated by the plush casino and started betting on all the attractions. After four days, they had just two dollars left.
"Let me go to the casino alone," the man told his wife. "I've got a feeling that I'll be lucky today."
Once downstairs, he went to the roulette table and put his last two dollars on No. 14, red. His number won. He continued betting and winning. Within an hour, he had acquired $50,000. Feeling that his luck was about to change, he picked up his chips and walked toward the cashier.
Just before he reached her, he felt one final urge to bet. He went back to the roulette table and put everything on No. 10, black. The wheel spun round and round, and finally stopped on No. 12, red. Heartbroken, he returned to his room.
"Well," his wife asked anxiously, "How did you make out?"
"I lost two dollars."

这对夫妇抵达洛杉矶后，丈夫被豪华的赌场迷住了，开始在所有吸引人的项目上下注。四天后，他们只剩下两美元。
“让我一个人去赌场吧，”男人对妻子说。“我感觉今天会很幸运。”
下楼后，他走到轮盘赌桌前，把最后的两美元押在了红色14号上。他的号码赢了。他继续下注，继续赢钱。一小时内，他赢得了五万美元。感觉自己的运气即将改变，他拿起筹码走向收银台。
就在他快走到收银台前时，他感到一股最后的冲动想要再赌一把。他回到轮盘赌桌，把所有筹码都押在了黑色10号上。轮子转啊转，最后停在了红色12号上。心碎的他回到了房间。
“怎么样？”他的妻子焦急地问道，“情况如何？”
“我只输了两美元。”
