Things "read" by fortune tellers
Answer:
PALMS
Hint:
Look closely at what some believe reveals your future in the lines of your hands.
Explanation:
Fortune tellers often claim to predict the future by examining the lines and shapes on someone's hand, which is called palm reading or palmistry. The clue plays on the word "read" to hint at this practice, since palms are "read" like a book. The answer is "PALMS" because that’s the part of the hand being interpreted.
