THE FORTUNETELLER
A traveling medicine show came to town one day and with it was a gypsy fortuneteller.
The town folk for the most part kept their distance as to not be seen associating with those of such unsavory character.
Well, that evening, the wife of a local rancher, after waiting for her no good husband to fall asleep sneaked off under the cover of darkness, to visit the fortuneteller.
She entered the dimly lit tent and sat across from the mystic. After gazing into a crystal ball for some time she delivered the grim news. “Prepare yourself to be a widow”, she said. “Your husband is soon to meet with a violent death.”
Visibly shaken, the rancher’s wife drew a few deep breaths to compose herself.
She met the fortunetellers’ gaze and with a steadied voice she asked,
“But will I be acquitted”?
