The Japanese general Nobunaga decided to attack even though he had only one soldier to the enemy's ten. He was sure he would win, but his soldiers were full of doubt.
On the way to battle they stopped at a Shinto shrine. After praying in the shrine, Nobunaga came out and said, "I shall now toss a coin. If it is heads, we shall win. If tails, we shall lose. Destiny will now reveal herself."
He tossed the coin. It was heads. The soldiers were so eager to fight that they wiped out the enemy.
The next day an assistant said to Nobunaga, "No one can change Destiny."
"Quite right, " said Nobunaga, showing him a doubled coin that was heads on both sides.
Who makes Destiny?
