One bright starry night, on the island of Hawai?i, laid a man in a black and red shirt. Already being 8:00 at night, this man got hungry. He slowly crawled off his bed and walked out the door in to his car. He drives to an old Chinese restaurant and asks for a table for one.

As the man sits waiting for the waiter, he looks out the window and sees the numbers 4, 5, and 6. As this is a sign of “bad luck” he worries and turns back. The waiter finally reaches the mans table and asks him, “What could I get you sir?” The man replies, “I would like a roast pork plate with bean sprouts.” After a few minutes of waiting, the lady comes back with a tray and on that tray there is roast pork with bean sprouts and a fortune cookie. Remembering the numbers the man had seen, he hesitated to open the fortune cookie. He eats all his pork and thinks, Hey, why not eat this cookie. As hey breaks the cookie in half and eats it, he pulls out a wet paper from his mouth. It reads, “Your life is in danger. Say nothing to anyone. You must leave the city immediately and never return. Repeat: say nothing.” Knowing that the man had just seen the numbers 4, 5, and 6, the man quickly leaves a twenty-dollar bill on the table, and leaves. Not telling anyone...

He took the next plane to Florida in the morning. When he arrives he takes a cab to a hotel. He passes many stores that sell cigarettes and wants to get some since his life is in danger anyway. After a few packs a day, he gets lung cancer and has to go in to chemotherapy, but doesn’t make it. He lays deceased on the bed. Helpless.
