“Tell me
gypsy woman,” said pushover Paul. “What do you see in your crystal ball?”
Charlotte
Ann gazed into the ball. “I see fame and fortune. A large windfall.”
“How grand,”
he said and clapped his hands. “How soon will it come and what will be the
sum?”
“Soon. You
will be a very rich man before the next full moon. But your fortune will come
at a price. Your wealth will require a significant sacrifice.”
“What
sacrifice will suffice?” he asked. “Could you be more precise?”
“Your
current wealth I will need to curse before you receive your future purse. All
that you have you will have to bring to me. Consider it a token. A gratitude
fee.”
“Gypsy
woman, I respectfully thank. I will remove all the funds that I have in the
bank.”
“Go now,
don’t delay. Your reward will be larger if you come back today.”
“My dear
woman, I’ll be back in a flash. There’ll be plenty of time to curse that cash.”
