There is a story about him in the history
books.
When he was young, he learnt fortune-telling
from his father, but no one knew about it.
When he grew up, he entered the government
service and a few years later he was appointed deputy governor of the province
where his hometown is located.
One day he went to the governor and said to
him
According to my fortune telling, it will
rain heavily from the 1st of May this year, so we should prepare for disasters
in advance.
The governor laughed when he heard these
words.
The governor said to him.
Our province is experiencing a drought, and
it would be great if it rained.
He nervously told the governor.
This heavy rain will continue for several
days and will cause serious damage to our people.
We should remind the people to be prepared.
The governor did not heed his advice.
Being a civil servant, he had no way of
leaving his post, so he had to prepare a boat himself and move all his family's
valuable belongings onto it.
He also told some of his relatives and good
friends the news, but none of his relatives and good friends believed his
prediction.
A few weeks later, on the morning of 1 May,
he spoke to the governor again.
This is our last chance, it's going to rain
heavily.
We should hurry and issue an emergency
alert.
Said the governor angrily.
It's sunny and hot outside and I don't
think your prediction will come true.
He took his leave that day and returned
home. He and his family hid on the boat he had prepared.
After midday that day, the sky suddenly
darkened and it began to rain heavily.
The rain was so heavy that by the evening
the main river that ran through the town where he lived had risen and washed
away its banks.
The floods covered the whole city in a
short time.
After the flood, statistics showed that
more than a thousand people had died.
After this time his reputation spread and
everyone knew that he was a very powerful fortune teller.

他是漢王朝一個有著名的占卜師，他擅長藉由觀察風的變化推測未來。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他年輕的時候跟他這他的父親學習占卜，這件事情沒有人知道。
他長大後進入政府單位工作，幾年後，他被聘任為他的家鄉所在的那個省的副省長。
有一天，他去找省長並且對省長說。
根據我占卜的結果，今年的五月一日開始會下暴雨，因此我們應該要預先做好防災的準備。
省長聽到他說的這些話就笑了。
省長對他說。
我們這個省正在鬧旱災，如果有下雨那就太好了。
他很緊張地對省長說。
這場暴雨會連續下好幾天，會對我們的百姓造成很嚴重的損害。
我們應該要提醒百姓做好準備。
省長沒有聽從他的建議。
因為他是公務人員，所以他沒有辦法離開他的職位，他只好自己準備了一艘船，他把他家所有值錢的物品都搬到這艘船上。
他也跟自已的一些親戚與好朋友說這個消息，但是他的親戚與好朋友都不相信他的預言。
幾個禮拜後，五月一日那一天的早上他再次向省長說。
這是我們最後的機會了，已經快下暴雨了。
我們應該趕緊發布緊急警報。
省長生氣的對他說。
外面天氣晴朗而且炎熱，我認為你的預言不可能成真。
他當天請假回到家裡，他與他的家人們都躲到他所準備的那一艘船上。
當天中午過後，天空突然變得昏暗並且開始下起豪大雨。
雨勢非常的猛烈，到了傍晚的時候，流經他所住的這個城市的主要河流的河水暴漲沖毀的堤岸。
洪水在很短的時間內就淹沒了整座城市。
洪水過後，根據統計， 這場洪水奪走了超過好幾千的百姓的性命。
從這一次之後，他的名聲就傳開了，大家都知道他是一個很厲害的占卜師。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你經歷過水災嗎?你家裡準備因應緊急災害的物資嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
