fortunes of the passers-by. A person ran up in great haste, and announced to him that the doors of his house had been broken open, and that all his goods were being stolen. He sighed heavily, and hastened away as fas

178. 预言家
一个预言家坐在市集中,给路过的人算命。 有一个人十分急促地跑上来,对他说他的家被人破门而入,他所有的东西都被偷走了。 他长叹一声,赶快跑回家去。 一个邻人看见他跑来,便说:「哦,你这家伙!你说你能够预言别人的命运;怎么你偏不会预言自己的呢?」
