his
hair
cut,

was

result.
When

saw
him,
he
laughed
and
said,
“What
has
happened
to
your
hair,
Jack ”
Jack
said,
“I
tried
a
new
barber’s
shop
today,
because
I
wasn’t
quite
satisfied
with
my
old
one,
but
this
one
seems
even
worse.”
Bob
agreed.
“Yes,
I
think
you
are
right,
Jack.
Now
I’ll
tell
you
what
to
do
when
you
go
into
a
barber’s
shop
next
time:
look
at
all
the
barber’s
hair,
find
out
whose
hair
looks
worst,
and
then
go
straight
to
him.”
“Why
shall
I
go
to
him ”
Jack
asked.
“But
that
would
be
foolish!”
“Oh,
no,
it
wouldn’t,”
answered
Bob.
“Who
cut
that
man’s
hair
Just
think
about
it.
He
couldn’t
cut
it
himself,
could
he
Another
of
the
barbers
cut
it.
So
you
know
he
can’t
be
the
worst
barber.”

hair
looked
the
worst
and
then
go
straight
to
him.

he
was
certainly
the
best
barber.
Because
he
was
free
all
the
time.
Because
he
was
the
worst
barber.
Because
he
wasn’t
the
worst
barber.
