Or misinterpreted it:
I see a brilliantly sunny future, as this very crystal ball helps your struggling business catch fire!
Or maybe she got an insurance payment out of it; you did see “The Monkey’s Paw,” didn’t you?
A few years ago, around Christmas time in Nashville, Indiana, a store burnt down. It was just a few doors away from the local 'fortune teller'. I have a picture of the seer's sign, with the smoldering ashes of the burnt out store in the background!
