	{A group of headless dragons appears. There will be good fortune.}
\or \interpret{K'UN}{Success}
	{Great success. A wise man is virtuous and proper, like a strong but gentle mare. When he is faced with a

		happy to follow others, all will be well. It is important to have friends in the south and west,
		but they can be lost or forgotten if they are in the north and east. A wise man must remember to
		draw strength from proper conduct, and by doing this he will be fortunate.}

		she marries and has children.}
	{The hunter, stalking a deer, is drawn into the forest. He failed to ask the forester for help and is
   		now lost. The wise man can see the dangers which lie ahead. He know it would be foolish to
		continue, so decides to give up the chase.}

		resources close at hand and can draw his neighbours to him.}
