The Fortune Teller

In the great city of Taipei, there

lived a man called Lin and his wife. They
had no children. Because of this, they
were very unhappy. One day, they found
a baby boy outside their door. He was
wrapped in a blanket and crying. They
took the baby into their house and called
him Sau Ling. They loved him very
much.

When Sau Ling was a young man, a fortune-

teller came to the house. "You must send your son
away," he said. "One day he will become a thief
and cause you a lot of trouble."

Mr and Mrs Lin were very sad to hear this.

They believed what the fortune-teller said. They
gave Sau Ling some clothes and money and sent
him away.

Several years later, Sau Ling was having a

meal in an inn several miles from Taipei. He put
his bag on the floor near his table. After finishing
his meal, he picked up his bag. "That's strange!"
he thought, "It feels so heavy. "He looked inside.
It was full of small gold bars. Then he realized
that someone had taken his bag by mistake and
left another bag in its place.

That evening, a young man came to the inn,

"Has anyone seen my bag?" he asked. Sau Ling
was very honest. He returned the bag to him. The
young man thanked him. "You are really very
honest," he said, ""I shall ask my father to give
you a job. The young man’s father was a rich
merchant. He gave Sau Ling a good job. “But you
go home first, “he said” and take a holiday”. Sau
Ling returned to Taipei. Mr and Mrs Ling were
delighted to see him again. The fortune teller was
also present. Sau Ling told them what had
happened. The fortune teller did not know what to
say. . He left the house without saying a word. Mr
and Mrs Lin never believed in fortune-teller after
that. Sau Ling took them to live with him and they
were very happy and contented until the end of
their lives.
