Fortune-teller
原文
Does what Madam Bellinsky said come true?
At a village fair, I decided to visit a fortune-teller called Madam Bellinsky.
I went into her tent and she told me to sit down.
After I had given her some money, she looked into a crystal ball and said:
'A relation of yours is coming to see you.
She will be arriving this evening and intends to stay for a few days.
The moment you leave this tent, you will get a big surprise.
A woman you know well will rush towards you.
She will speak to you and then she will lead you away from this place. That is all.'
As soon as I went outside, I forgot all about Madam Bellinsky because my wife hurried towards me.
'Where have you been hiding?' she asked impatiently.
'Your sister will be here in less than an hour and we must be at the station to meet her. We are late already.'
As she walked away, I followed her out of the fair.

贝尔林斯基夫人说的话会成真吗?
在一个乡村集市上,我决定去拜访一位名叫贝林斯基夫人的算命师。
我走进她的帐篷,她让我坐下。
在我给了她一些钱之后,她看了看那个水晶球,然后说道:
你的一个亲戚要来看你。
她将于今晚到达,并打算在这里待上几天。
你一离开这个帐篷,就会大吃一惊。
一个你非常熟悉的女人会冲向你。
她会和你说话,然后带你离开这个地方。就这些。
我一走到外面,就把贝林斯基夫人忘得一干二净了,因为我的妻子正朝我匆匆走来。
你跑哪儿去了?她不耐烦地问道。
你妹妹将在一小时内到达,我们必须赶到车站去接她。我们已经迟到了。
她转身走开时,我便跟着她离开了集市。
