Michael: |
You know, I've always wanted to have my
fortune told. |
Roxane: |
Really? Do you know where you can get it
done? |
Michael: |
I'm not sure. But maybe there are some
fortune-tellers listed in the phone book. Let's take a look. |
Roxane: |
Hmm. Here's one. You could have your palm
read by Madame Zara for $70. |
Michael: |
That's really expensive. |
Roxane: |
What about this one? You can get your
fortune told over the phone for only $3.75 a minute. |
Michael: |
That's reasonable. Come on. Try it with me! |

number). |
Fortune-teller |
Fortune-Tellers International. This is
Madame Ines. Let me tell you what the future
will bring. What's your sign? |
Michael: |
I'm a Leo. |
Fortune-teller |
Hmm ... let's see. Well, this is going to be
an interesting week for you. |
Michael: |
Why is that? |
Fortune-teller |
It seems that you're waiting to hear about
something important, and you should have good news toward the
end of the week. |
Michael: |
Hmm ... I wonder what that's about. |
Fortune-teller |
But your situation at work or at school will
become more difficult in the coming days. You may find things
boring for a while, but you should be patient. |
Michael: |
OK. |
Fortune-teller |
Now, on the personal side, you will have
some lively and interesting discussions with someone you know
well. Pay attention to this friend's advice because it will turn
out to be good for you in the long run. |
Michael: |
OK. That doesn't sound too bad. |
Fortune-teller |
If you would like to hear more, I'll need
your credit card number, please. |
Michael: |
Oh. It's 8997-9670072 ... |
