HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ELEPHANTS
AYBE you've never seen an
tom of your teacup? That's pro- bably because you've never look- ed for one, or else couldn't re- cognise one even if you did see it.
Next time you sit down to a cup of tea just take a look at the way the leaves form themselves. at the bottom of the cup when you've finished.
If you can't see the outline of an elephant you may at least find a dragon lurking there or an ob- ject which looks absurdly like a parrot.
Either of which symbols can be the means of giving you a lot of satisfaction if you only know how to interpret their meanings, at deast according to the "science" we've all heard so much and know so little about.

The contents should then be swirled round three times (the handle in your Teft hand, please), the and the cup inverted over saucer to allow the last drops to drain away.
Now pick up the cup, turn it right way up with the handle pointing away from you, and you may or may not, learn something to your advantage.
It should be understood, how- ever, that the leaves will only tell
who. the fortune of the person drank from the cup.
Here are the meanings of some of the things you may see if you look hard enough and you can't see anything but a lot of tea leaves, try half-closing your
eyes...
