Many hundreds of years ago a king went to see a fortune teller to see what she could predict about the future. The fortune teller told the king that one of his wives would die that year. The king didn't believe her and went away laughing.
Later that year one of the king's wives died. He remembered what the fortune teller had told
He decided to put her to death. He ordered that she be brought before him.
When she was before him he said to her, "You predicted that my wife would die, and she did
die. So you are a fortune teller. Now, tell me this - when will you die?"
The fortune teller realized that the king was planning to kill her, so she thought very carefully before answering and said, "I will die three days before you do, your majesty."
