The Weekend ‐ Fortune Telling (C0330)
A: Look at this newspaper article about this famous local
medium. It says that she is really gifted and so popular
now, that she is booked solid with appointments for the
next twelve months!
B: You don’t really believe in all that hocus pocus mumbo
jumbo do you?
A: Well I have had many friends that went to a psychic
and got their palms read and most of the things the psychic
told her came true!
B: Of course it does! They tell you general and obvious
things like that you will be successful or have a big house.
I think most of the times they are just scam artists.
A: Well historically it is a practice that many cultures
share. Reading the tarot cards, in the east they would even
read tea leaves! I even heard that there are people that
make you smoke a cigar, and then read your ashes.
B: All superstitious nonsense! I would still like to go to
one and see what he or she has to say, just for kicks.

A: Great! I’ll make an appointment!
