Hello, boys and girls, it’s your old pal, the Old Storyteller, just out of stir and ready with another fable for all my little pals! This one is called “The Haircutter’s Gift.”
One day a florist went to the barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, but the barber – who spent time in the same big house as the Old Storyteller -- replied, "I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week." The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a "thank you" card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later that day, a baker came in for a haircut, and when he tried to pay his bill, the barber again replied, "I cannot accept money from you , I'm doing community service this week." The baker was happy and left the shop. The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a "thank you" card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Later that day a congressman came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, "I can not accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week." The congressman was very happy and left the shop. The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.
The moral of the story is: "It takes a congressman to run a clip joint!"
