文章讲解

At a village fair, I decided to visit a fortune-teller called Madam Bellinsky. I went into her tent and she told me to sit down. After I had given her some money, she looked into a crystal ball and said: 'A relation of yours is coming to see you. She will be arriving this evening and intends to stay for a few days. The moment you leave this tent, you will get a big surprise. A woman you know well will rush towards you. She will speak to you and then she will lead you away from this place. That is all.'
As soon as I went outside, I forgot all about Madam Bellinsky because my wife hurried towards me. 'Where have you been hiding?' she asked impatiently. 'Your sister will be here in less than an hour and we must be at the station to meet her. We are late already.' As she walked away, I followed her out of the fair.

What has been the biggest plot twist in your life?

In 1988 my boss asked me to delay my vacation for a month or two. I said ok. Seems innocent enough, but it did change my world.
I had intended to go to Mexico with my girlfriend, but the trip was cancelled.
A few months later we broke up, but not over the trip. I had no vacation plans, but took a week off. Just traveling about the countryside, i stopped in this little bookstore that had a going out of business sale going on. On the floor was a sheet of paper. I picked it up to throw it in a trash can, but happened to see words on the other side. The other side was a flyer for a music festival. Sounded like fun, so i took a week off the next month and went. I met my wife there. We had a long distance relationship before email. We got married late in 1989. Been together ever since.
