T: Do you know when we celebrate Shrovetide?

P: We celebrate Shrovetide on the last Sunday before the Lent.

T: On Christmas-tide people tell fortune, do not they?

P: Yes, they do. It is old Russian tradition.

T: Have you ever tell fortune at this period?

P: Yes, I have. I want to know my future?

P: No, I have not. I do not believe in such tradition.
