Show What the Tea Leves Tell. Do you know how to tell fortunes in a teacup? It furnishes a great deal of entertainment at a party. This Chinese rhyme explains it : "One leaf, alone you'll be ; Two together, the priest you'll see. Three together, your wish will gain ; Four, a letter from loving swain. Five, good news the letter will bring; Six in a row, a song you'll sing. Seven together, good fortune awaits, So say to you the teacups' fates. Tea leaves large and tea leaves tall Bring you company, great and small. Tea leaves many and scattered fine Is of bad luck the surest sign. Tea leaves few and near the rim, Your cup of joy o'erflows the brim." |
