IF WHEN YOU GET A CUP OF TEA AND A LEAF FLOATS TO THE TOP,
TAKE IT OUT, PUT IT ON THE BACK OF YOUR LEFT HAND
AND THEN PUT THE BACK OF YOUR RIGHT HAND ON TOP OF YOUR
LEFT. IF, ON REMOVING YOUR RIGHT HAND THE TEA LEAF
STICKS, YOU WILL HAVE A LETTER IN ONE DAY. KEEP DOING
IT UNTIL IT STICKS AND THEN YOU WILL KNOW IN HOW MANY
DAYS A LETTER IS COMING.
