There is an example from an oracular prediction given to a king going off to war.
The prediction: "Ibo redibus nunquam in bello peribis" (sorry my Latin is rough and rusty) which means something like "you will go you will return never in war will you perish." Depending on how you punctuate it, it can mean two entirely different things. The king interpreted it in a positve way; went off to war; was defeated and killed.
