Five
Angels
(Another story by Ajahn Brahmavamso)
A man had a dream at night.
He dreamt of 5 angels, who were just about to give him 5 pots of gold.
But just as he was going to receive that gold, he woke up.
Ok, fine, so he got up as usual and went about his business. He went to work and realised that the day's date was 5th of May. Five, Five, of 2005. It had to be a sign. He decided to take the rest of the day off since that day also happened to be a racing day at the turf club.
As he reached home, his wife had prepared some snacks for him. Five different types of it, in fact. He was convinced that this number had to be special and decided to do something with the signs that were sent to him.

He looked through the newspaper, and was looking through the 5th horse race of the day. The name of the horse in the 5th lane was 'Five Angels'.Convinced, he went to the bank to withdraw five thousand dollars to bet on the race.
He went to the 5th ticket vendor and bought 5 tickets.
Finally the race started. Five Angels came in fifth and he lost all five thousand dollars..
The end?
