A certain rich man was very mean.
One day he went to the barber for a shave. He said he wouldn't pay a single coin
if the barber used water. The barber felt embarrassed. He thought for a while,
and said to the rich man: "just as you like. But you must me first." The rich
man said, "i'll pay half first. if you violate the rule you must return double
the money." Unexpectedly, the barber ran away as soon as he got the money.
The rich man would not let him go and chased after him. They ran for a long
time. The rich man was sweating all over. His beard was too wet too. The barber
finally pushed him onto a stool and said, "Now I can shave you." |
