Assignment 2


A blessing in disguise

It was a day I will never forget. My friend urged me to go see a fortuneteller. I never believed someone could really foretell someone's future by rolling the dice or palm reading. It was hard and challenging for me to trust a stranger but I wanted to give it a go. Before booking an appointment I started to get curious, so I wanted to dig in and learn more about fortune-telling. After finding a lot of information and tips on what to ask the fortuneteller, I headed right away to make an appointment. 

At the fortuneteller I wanted to know if something would change my life somehow. I wanted to find happiness and believed being filthy rich would fill that hole of unhappiness in me.  I was told I would get my chance of becoming wealthy soon. A few days later I realized that nothing out of normal hadn't happened. I stormed my way back to demand my money back and to accuse the fortuneteller of tricking me. I slammed the door open and rushed in. The fortuneteller was acting infuriatingly calm but I wasn't there to listen to her excuses. She anyway got my attention by pointing out that her forecast had penciled as she had predicted. I regretted the way I had made my entrance so I asked the fortuneteller if we could wipe the slate clean. I went outside and this time rang the doorbell. Just a few seconds later the door opened and after apologizing to her I left for a walk back home. 

Arriving to a park I saw something shiny on the corner. I reached to it and figured out it was a thick, leathery wallet full of cash. Why could I not keep it, finders keepers, I thought. Then a thought came into my mind. She was right, I did get my chance to be rich after all. Thinking of what had happened with the fortuneteller I decided to return the property to its owner. He was so grateful and generous to give me 20 euros.

I felt great for making someone else's day better. It was a feeling I hadn't experienced before, I was on cloud nine. Jumping for joy I accidentally kicked off my shoe and sighed, what a day. I would never question fortunetellers ever again and learned that happiness is what I have to find in me, not in fortunes.

  1. At the beginning of the text I couldn't find two dice events. In the end I found easily rest of those dice events. You could bring those events more visible at the beginning. Otherwise text was good and adding the fortuneteller to the story was a good idea.
