Casmir:
Let's look at the psychology of the matter.  Two poor boys with a 
big dream.  A few gold pieces with which to buy the dream.  The 
money they had was not enough to start anything; so perhaps they saw 
it more as the price of a hope, an all or nothing attitude on a what 
they felt was a good bet.
