Chiromancy

Chiromancy is when someone looks at the lines and wrinkles on your hands to tell you about your future. Think of your hands like a map, and the lines on them are like roads that can give clues about different things that might happen to you. A person who studies chiromancy is called a palm reader.

For example, they might look at a line that goes straight across your palm and tell you that you will have a long life. Or they might look at the line that goes from the base of your thumb to your wrist and tell you that you will have a lot of money in your future.

It's important to remember that chiromancy and palm reading are not scientific or guaranteed to be true - they are just a fun way for people to think about their future and maybe learn a little bit about themselves. It's kind of like reading a story or watching a movie - it can be entertaining and interesting, but it doesn't always reflect what really happens in real life.
