User reviews

LibraryThing member Jill.Barrington
A fortune teller, Fenzel, has bad eyesight. He tells one customer the wrong fortune by mistake many times, until the end. When someone tries to outsmart Fenzel and exploit his bad sight, Fenzel is able to find the culprit.

The book would be useful in a discussion about morals.
