A few years ago, while I was on holiday in the Himalayas, I stopped for the night in a small village. It was a very poor place and there was no proper hotel, but the owner of a restaurant offered me a bed for the night.
''Please wait here," he said, pointing to a table just outside his restaurant, "while I prepare your room."
It was a beautiful evening. The sun was setting behind the dark mountains and the stars were just beginning to come out. The villagers were lighting fires for their evening meals and there was a. pleasant smell of wood smoke in the; air.
Then I noticed that I was no longer alone. Someone was sitting at the table beside me. It was an old man, with a long white beard. His clothes were dirty and almost in rags.
“What do you want?" I asked. "Let me tell your fortune, sir," he said. I laughed. "I don't believe in that sort, of thing," I told him. All the same, the old man took hold of my hand. "I can tell you your future," he said. I tried to take my hand away, but the old man held on to it, gently but very firmly.
"Very well," I said. "But first of all tell me about my past. If you can tell me about that, I'll let you tell me about the future too." The old man looked hard at my hand for a long time without speaking. I smiled to myself. "He can't do it," I thought.
Then, in a low soft voice, the old man began, to tell me about my childhood. He talked about my family and the town I used to live in. He went on to tell me about my life in different parts of the world.
Every word he said was true! "Stop!" I said. "How can you know all these things?" "I know about the past and the present," the old man replied. "And I also know about the future. Are you ready to hear about your future too?" I hesitated. Did I really want to know? Just at that moment, the owner of the restaurant came out. "Your room is ready now, sir," he said. "Oh! I thought I heard voices. Were you talking to someone?"
I looked round. The old man was not there. "Yes," I said. I described the old man. "Oh, him!" the owner of the restaurant said. "That's the village lunatic! He thinks he can tell people's fortunes! I hope he wasn't a nuisance.

It was my birthday last Thursday and I decided to celebrate it by inviting a few friends out to supper. I chose a restaurant in a quiet part of town. It is one of my favourite restaurants because the food is good and the waiters are friendly. It is hardly ever crowded, however, because few people know about it, so it is not usually necessary to book a table. In any case, Thursday is not a busy evening as a rule.
When we entered the restaurant, I was surprised, therefore, to find it completely full. I looked around - but not a single table was free. One of the waiters recognized me. He came across and explained the situation. “A party of tourists came in about half an hour ago," he said. "It was like an invasion! Suddenly the place was full! We can hardly manage!"
The waiter then pointed to a table in the corner. "The people there are just about to leave," he said, "just hold on and you'll find a place there." He was right. Fifteen minutes later, the people at the corner table paid their bill, got up and left. I led my friends across and we all sat down.
Unfortunately, our table was almost out of sight. We tried to attract the attention of the waiter who sent us there but he, like all the other waiters, was busy with the party of tourists. They ordered enormous quantities of food. But at last, nearly an hour later, the tourists were finishing their meal and looking very pleased with life. The waiter, now very tired, appeared at our table. I advised my friends about the best dishes and finally the waiter went off with our order.
A few moments later he came back to our table. We could tell from his face that he had bad news for us. Full of apologies, he informed us that there was no meat or fish left. "All we can offer you," he said, "is an omelette!"
