ABSTRACT

There was once a very wealthy man — slaves, cattle, camels, God had been exceedingly kind to him. Then one Friday he said to one of his slaves ‘Go and call me a barber to shave my head.’* ‘Right’ says he and off he goes to the edge of the market. There he saw a clean barber. Returning he said ‘Here you are, I’ve fetched you a barber.’ ‘Good’ says his master, ‘Let him come in’. Then, when the barber had come in, he said to him ‘Come and shave me!’
