The Little Palm Reader

The little palm reader is optimistic. She has her sign ready. Fortunes told here Twenty-five cents. We drive by a couple of times. Then we stop. She is overjoyed with a quarter. You are going to be rich she tells me. And you will be famous, she tells my sister. Best fifty cents we have spent in a long time.
