　A fortune-teller divined in a town square and did good business.

　Suddenly, a man rushed in and said,

“Oh, no!

　Your house was pried out and everything was gone!”

　The fortune-teller was really shook and jumped,

“My goodness, my goodness!”

　She was screaming and ran to see her home.

　As seeing off the fortune-teller run away, one of the people nearby shouted at,

“Nyah,

　You take pride in knowing other’s fortunes,

　You did not know what is going to happen on you?”



　This story should be told to someone who can’t look after themselves properly,

　but love to butt into other people’s business.
