A fortune-teller was sitting in the market place and doing good business.
Suddenly a man came and told him that the door of his house had been wrenched from its hinges and all his possessions carried off.
He jumped up and with a cry of consternation ran to see what had happened.
A bystander who was watching him said:
“ You profess to foretell what is going to befall other people, but you did not foresee your own misfortune.”
