I have to pass through a street garden when I go to and from get off work. Here are two or three permanent fortune teller . They wear Taoist robes, Taoist hats, small stools, bamboo tubes and card signs every day, and they are very stylish. From nine to five, "go to and from get off work" on time, and there are few absent. Whenever a pedestrian passes by, he always enthusiastically solicits business: "Come on, tell me a fortune, tell me the good fortune, calculate the future, seek good fortune and avoid disaster, don't need money!"

1 One day, I passed by the street garden as usual. At this time, there were few passers-by, and I saw two fortune tellers gathered together and chatting. Out of curiosity, I pricked up my ears and listened for a while. One of them shook his head like rattle , and sighed, "My life is miserable, my life is miserable. I have been wandering around east, west, south and north for the rest of my life, without children, lonely and helpless. When I get old, I have no ability to support myself. I can only live here with wind and sun, relying on fortune telling for others."

The other one was not convinced and then said, "My life is miserable. I have a son, but my son is not filial. Look, I am old, not only can't enjoy my old age, but I also have to do this, otherwise it will be a problem for eating. My life is miserable!"

I laughed in my heart. This fortune teller calculates other people's fate all day long, has he ever calculated his own fate?
