a traveler wearied froe with fatigue, on the very brink of a deep well. just as he was about to fall into the water, dame fortune, it is said, appeared to him and waking him from his slumber thus addressed him: "good sir, pray wake up: for if you fall into the well, the blame will be thrown on me, and i shall get an ill name among mortals; for i find that men are sure to impute their calamities to me, however much by their own folly they have really brought them on themselves."

everyone is more or less master of his own fate.

一个过路人赶了很久的路，饿极了，筋疲力尽地倒在井边睡着了。【【重生】季先生突然喜欢我在】就在他差一点要掉到井里的时候，命运女神出现了，对他说:“亲爱的先生，你赶快醒来吧！如果你不小心掉入了井里，那么我就要承担保护不力的骂名了。因为人类总是把灾难归咎于我，而从不检讨自己的行为。”

每个人都应该把命运掌握在自己的手里。
