  the avatar and his two friends come across a guy in their travels who tells them of a fortune teller, so they go and see her and find out what happens when you relly to much on fortunes. hide show

  Surprisingly i really liked it! i havn't seen the begining of the series but ive seen enough! i like this episode it even had a moral to it! i think that nick did a good job of creating convincing characters who each had diffrent personalitys! they made you feel more part of the show than if you were just sitting there watching it. by the end i was rooting for ang to end up with the girl, and for her to just realize that she liked him! i'm not a fan of nickalodian but they really did a good job on this tv show!

  Aang and the gang meet a fortune teller in a village whom everyone believes is true. When the gang see that she is wrong, they try to convince the villagers to change their views. hide show

  I really liked this episode! I got chills down my spine in the end when Aang was airbending the lava to stop it from destroying the village. On a nearby hill, Katara and Sokka are watching. Sokka tells Katara that he often forgets how powerful a bender Aang is. Katara stiffens, and asks Sokka to keep repeating it. She is shocked because the fortune teller told her she would fall in love and marry a powerful bender one day. Aang spied on the fortune teller and Katara when this was said, and he was happy because he thought the powerful bender was him.

  Now we got an episode based on fortune telling! hide show

  As our heroes continue on their great adventure, they stumble upon a man in trouble! This is the first episode where we see a platypus bear! The gang tries to figure put ways to save him, but Appa does that by caring the platypus bear away since he has a louder roar and is bigger than he is. That was funny when he dropped an egg! Next they come to a town that has a master fortune teller, where she is really good at predicting the future and what is in store for other people who see her. Ya know what's really juicy? Aang and Katara trying to find out who could be their best love, signs that they were meant for each other and to get shipped people! That part was awesome, there's also a girl in this episode who has a crush on Aang, but later in the epsiode she finds out about what Aang was trying to do, and she said its tough when you love someone but they don't love you back. The ultimate plot for this episode was that some of the fortune teller's predictions were wrong when they saw an active volcano's lava rising, and the best part was that they changed the clouds to change fate! Good thing the town was saved, but Sokka doesn't like that guy when he keeps saying the fortune teller's predictions still ended up being right after all!

  The group finds a fortuneteller and find out there fortune... hide show

  The Gaang finds a village who has a fortuneteller. The village relies on her fortune for the outcome of there lives. The fortuneteller also tells the village whether a nearby volcano will destroy the village. She says that it will not be destroyed by the volcano. When Aang and Sokka travel up to the volcano they figure out that it is active and can erupt at any time. All they have to do is pursade the village that the volcano will erupt but they are too stuborn to listen and they do not belive them. The Gaang must go under deep circumstances to get the fortuneteller to say that the volcano will erupt so they can save the village. I think this episode deserves a ten because it was well written and suspenseful.
