Story illustrating Luck
Project Gutenberg EPUB edition
Sadi and Edwards, A. Hart

Some one came along and found the coin by chance.
Good and ill fortune are predestined. Our daily portion depends not upon our strength and efforts, for those who are strongest and strive the most stand often in the direst need.
