Please read my palm to see my fate will be.
People consult a palm reader to find out what their fate
will be, whether they will marry or become rich, how
many children they will have, etc. If a palm shows bad luck,
the person will try to counter it by drawing a cross with a
ballpoint pen over the spot in the palm.
