It was the damnedest thing.
I had never used the talking crystal ball left to me by my late grandfather when he passed away, even though I’d heard many stories about how accurate its predictions had been. So the other day when I needed a good weather forecast for Brazil next month I thought about trying it out. After removing it from a special safe and recharging its battery for 24 hours, I sat it down nicely on top of my dinner table. But just when I was about to ask the Brazil question, it fell off the base on its own and dropped right to the floor. While it was falling to the floor I thought I distinctively heard it say something like this, “O R C T Israel”, but then within a second it was broken up into pieces. Franticly I said to the pile of broken crystal, “what did you mean by that, a stock, should I go long or short?” But there was no answer. I kept repeating the same questions but apparently unlike my late grandfather’s talking crystal ball, a pile of broken crystal simply couldn’t talk.
So now I’m left with the unanswered questions of what kind of the weather I can expect to find in Brazil next month and what exactly the talking crystal ball’s final words “O R C T Israel" meant……………….
