WRITTEN IN THE CARDS

PART 1

"Come in,' said a voice. Jane Ross opened the door and went into a small room. There was a man
sitting behind a table.
"Good afternoon,' said Jane. 'I want to see Madame Yolanda, the fortune teller’.
'Madame Yolanda is not here today,' said the man. 'But don't worry. I'll tell you about your future.
What questions do you want to ask?"

Jane looked at the fortune teller. She couldn't see him very well because the room was very dark.
Jane: Well, I have a problem with my boyfriend. We argue all the time. I'm not sure that he loves me.
I want to know if we will stay together or not.
The man: Please choose five cards, but don't look at them.
The fortune teller put the cards on the table face down.
Jane took five cards. The fortune teller turned over the first card.
The man: Ah, this is a good card. This means you’ll be very lucky.

Jane: But will I stay with my boyfriend? Jane asked.


‘Maybe’ said the fortune teller. ’We need to look at the other cards first’. He turned over the second
card.
'Mmm, a house. A new house. You'll move, very soon, to another country.'
"But my boyfriend works here. He can't move to another country.'
'Let's look at the next card,' said the fortune teller. He turned over the third card.
'A heart. You'll fall in love.'
'Who with?' asked Jane.
‘Let me concentrate. I can see a tall dark man. He's very attractive’.
‘Oh, that's Jim,' said Jane.
‘Who's Jim? Your boyfriend?’
'No. Jim is a man I met at a party last month. He's an actor, from New York. He says he's in love with
me. It was his idea for me to come to Madame Yolanda.
"Well, the card says that you will fall in love with him."
'Are you sure?' asked Jane. 'But what about my boyfriend?"
'Let's look at the fourth card,' said the fortune teller.
The fortune teller turned over a card with two rings.
The man: Now I can see everything clearly. You'll leave your boyfriend and go away with the other
man, with Jim...to another country. And very soon you'll get married.
Jane: Married? To Jim! But will I be happy with him?
The man: You'll be very happy together. I'm sure of it.
Jane looked at her watch. ‘Oh no, look at the time. I'll be late for work’.
She stood up, left a £50 note on the table, and ran out of the room.

PART 2
Two hours ago

Madame Yolanda was in the dark room when a tall young man came in.
‘Good afternoon’ said the young man. ‘My name is Jim and I need your help.’
‘Choose five cards then’ said the fortune teller. But Jim didn’t.
‘No, I need to be you’ he said. The woman got surprised.
The young man explained: ‘ In two hours a woman is going to come here. I am in love with her but
she has a boyfriend. I know they do not get on well but she just needs some courage to leave him. I
am going to get dressed like a fortune teller and help her a little bit.’ The man smiled in a shy way.
Madame Yolanda looked at the man with no expression in her face. ‘But how’ she asked.
The man continued ‘I am going to say her that she will be very happy if she comes with me. And of
course I’m going to pay £200 to you for your help’. The fortune teller smiled and accepted.

1. Why did Jim ask for Madame Yolanda’s help?


2. What was his plan?
3. Did the fortune teller accept the offer?
