Falling Into Trouble

In a bar in a downtrodden area

"How can I lose again? I was sure that I had chosen the right number!`` The man pulled his hair in frustration as he stared hard at the table. As if continuous looking at it would change the results.

"Hey, do not act like that. You always start shouting that others are cheating when you do not have enough money to pay.

This time I am not in the mood to give credit. Pay the amount you have lost." came the irritated voice from the other side while a few muscular men came forward and surrounded the young man who was shouting earlier.

"What are you talking about? Haven't I paid all the sum I owed to you a few months ago? You know my new mistress is kind and give me a good salary.

It is just that I have spent all of it today. Tomorrow I will pay the rest first and then I will start playing. Just let me play one last game.
