As I entered the grounds a sign met my eye, Seer--Greatest ofFortune Tellers . I had always wanted by fortune told--so without further ado, uided by one of the prophets assistants, I entered a weird, black- Sraped room. I saw seated at a small table a sallow-skinned man dressed in flowing robes, and a jeweled turban. He reclined on bright- colored satin pillows. He seemed to notice only the crystal ball on the table before him. Suddenly he spoke: It has been many years since friends have parted and one their many ways. Today you seek, my friend, news of these frienmfs. Come closer, and gaze deeply into the crystal ball. The past, the present, and the future are an open book to me. Gaze upon your friends.
