Many hundreds of years ago, a king, curious and skeptical, made his way through the winding streets of his kingdom to the house of a reputed fortune teller.
Upon his arrival, the king, with a mixture of skepticism and intrigue, asked the fortune teller,
- 'What visions do you see for my future?'
She peered into her crystal ball, and said,
- 'Before the year's end, one of the king's beloved wives will depart from this world. '
The king scoffed at the prediction.
As the time passed, the king's life was filled with the usual affairs of state. However, as the Autumn approached one of his wives fell ill and passed away. The kingdom mourned, and the king suddenly remembered the fortune teller's words.
He ordered that she be brought before him.
- 'A few months ago, you foretold the death of one of my wives, and now she is gone. If you truly possess the gift of foresight, then tell me - when will you meet your own end?'
The fortune teller, understanding the peril she faced, weighed her words with the greatest of care. She replied
- 'I will depart this world three days before you, Your Majesty. '
