A Man, who gave himself out for a Wizard and Fortune Teller,
used to stand in the market place and pretend to cast nauvites, give
information as to missing property and other matters of like kind. One
day, while he was busy plying his trade, a waggsh fellow broke through
the crowd and, gasping as if for the want of breath, told him that his
house was in flames and must shortly be burnt to the ground. Off ran
the Wizard at the news as fast as his legs could carry him, while the
Wag and the crowd of other people followed at his heels, The house, it
seems, was not on fire at all and the Wag asked him, amid the jeers Of
the people, how it was that he who was so clever at telling other peoples
fortunes. should know so little of his own.
