An old man meets a fortune teller and agrees to have her read his palm.
She begins to recognize past failures, great dramas and sufferings in his palm. And the old man realizes that she guesses everything and that she sees his entire life in his palm. He confusedly asks her if all this can really be seen in his palm.
"Yes", she answers him.
"Well, could I have avoided all these failures if I had read my palm earlier?"
"Yes", she confirms, and adds: "And not only that, it is written in your palm that you could have become a master palm reader."
