In The Astrologer's Day, the astrologer gives the stranger an interesting piece of advice. He tells him to take the next train home and to never venture into town again.

Essentially, the astrologer gives the stranger this piece of advice as a means of self-preservation. He recognizes the stranger as the man he tried to kill after a drunken quarrel decades ago. To protect himself, the astrologer tells the stranger a lie: that the man who tried to kill him (the stranger) is dead. When the stranger asks how his enemy died, the astrologer answers that he was crushed under a truck (lorry).
