The RPG comparison is apt because i flip to basically any page in this and Johann is having a random encounter

About four miles from Oldesloe I sat me down under a hazel-bush, and casually pressing the ground with my hands I set my right hand on a fever-snake, of which there were many in that part. The creature bit me right through the finger, so that I cried out loudly, and the pain was as severe as though a sword had been run through my body. Nevertheless, I decided at once what course to take. I remembered to have read, in Grollius * and other authors, how any identical snake may be forced to extract its own poison ; as in the case of mad dogs, wolves, gnats, bees, etc. I beat the venomous adder to death with my sword and scabbard and wrapped it in my handkerchief. What good fortune was mine ! For otherwise I must have died, as had happened both to cattle and to human beings in that very place.—And herein we perceive yet again the peculiar providence of the all-seeing God, Who allows us to be tried, but not beyond our strength ; Who so disposes events that the ordeal comes to an end, so that we are able to endure it. Praise, thanks and honour to His Holy Name !

Live your life so that the index of your memoirs looks like this

an index with such items as "haunted barn" and "disappointing horoscope"
