"Games are fairer than most other activities," the doctor said, pressing down on the deck of cards on the table, "Until the cards are flipped over, adults and children, men and women, the strong and the weak, all tip the scales equally. Once the cards are revealed, both sides holding cards have the capital to compete."
"What would you do if you held cards that were sure to lose?"
"Pretend that my cards are strong and make the others fold," the childlike voice answered.
"That would only work on those less clever than you, but it wouldn't fool someone as smart as you," the doctor added a piece of candy to the table, "You can increase your stakes."
"But my cards are very weak, I'm sure to lose," the child's voice carried doubt.
"People as smart as you would think the same," the doctor said, "However, if the other person's cards are very good, you can only lose this round."
"I've lost all my candy." The cards in view were flipped, and the candy was taken away by the doctor.
