   比尔·埃文斯是一名职业棒球运动员。他是一名非常棒的球员，曾多次参加世界联赛。他很迷信，在每场比赛前，他要找算命师，算算会发生什么。算命师已经算出很多次了，并且通常都是正确的。
   一天，他在一场重要的比赛前拜访了她，像往常一样算命先生研究了一下他的手，并且说：“我看到一个穿着白衣的人，你躺在担架上”。这让比尔很担忧。他决定不去冒这个险。他害怕受伤。比尔的队长不高兴当贝尔告诉他，他不参加比赛时。比尔是队里最好的球员之一，然而说什么都不能让比尔改变想法。
   比尔也决定不去看比赛，而去医院看望了几周前受重伤的另一名球员。当他走进医院，比尔的头撞在地上，失去了知觉。几秒钟内，他就在担架上抬进了医院。(谭老师译文录入，感谢查看！)
