Why you should never give up your dreams.
Homeless woman living off the streets, cut two squares, and a tiny rectangle out of a refrigerator box. With a Sharpie she found in the trash, she wrote on the front: “Fortune Teller will tell you something Personal”. The advertised price, was one dollar.

One day, she crawled in the square cut out in the back, as she waited and dreamed. A man approached the opening and asked her “will I like what you tell me?”. The Fortune Teller replied, "I do not know Sir, I can only promise you, it will be honest".

Liking her reply, he played along, and slipped one dollar into the rectangular slot. As he waited, another man saw what was happening, he kindly waited in line. He had done this before, as his Cinema was nearby and he liked to help.

The second man, looked at his watch to check the time, as he did not want to be late. He had to open his business. When he looked up, much to his confusion. The man in front, and the Fortune Teller were both gone.

He reached for the little slip of paper she wrote the Fortunes on, it was stuck in the rectangular slot. The words on it read: “Oh My, You are God.”
