New page

'''V - Ventured''' is a letter in [[Rolypolys no Nanakorobi Yaoki]].

==Plot==
[[Jumping Jack Bu]] jogs an exceedingly long way up a mountain to [[Mr. Okhotsk]]'s residence, where they participate in a game of [[Yo-a-mong|Chō-han]]. The player is given a choice between even or odd, but Bu is guaranteed to win each time. After 5 consecutive wins, acquiring more gold coins each time, Bu exits the residence as a limousine pulls up to drive him away.

==Moral==
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

==Explanation==
"Literally: If one doesn't enter the tiger's den, one can't get tiger cubs.

You have to be willing, sometimes, to take a chance if you want to gain something of value. The trick, however, is knowing when it is the right time to take the risk. Playing it safe all the time would bring only modest returns or little advance; and reckless gambling would result in sure ruin. Perhaps your best guides for deciding the time and place to go out on a limb are experience and instinct. Bu was willing to bet big, and won big. No pain, no gain."
