"This morning I felt that today was going to be my lucky day. I got up at seven, had seven dollars in my pocket, there were seven of us at lunch and there were seven horses in the seven o'clock race - so I backed the seventh."

"Did he win?"

"No, he came in seventh."

「今朝、きょう一日はツイてる日になるって気がしたんだ。目覚めたのが7時で、ポケットからは7ドルが出てきて、昼食は7人で食べて、7時開始のダービーでは7頭が出馬したんだ。だから、7番に賭けたのさ」

「勝ったのか?」

「いや、7着だった」
