RE: One Thousand and One Nights: The Story of the Hunchback with the Tailor, the Jew, the Christian, and the Barber of Baghdad: Eighteenth Night

in #story3 years ago

Oh my goodness... This barber is something else.

As a result of being away and trying to catch up, I had to start from the beginning. And this barber certainly behaves like a parasite. A client doesn't want to hear you talk so much but just give him a good haircut so he can attend to the affairs of his life, but, you are so adamant to piss him off with your incessant speeches.

This man actually is patient to have waited him out until he suddenly remembers he had a feast.

I had thought remembering the feast will make him hurry up with the haircut and move along to take care of his visitors, but, no, he is now downgrading the generosity of this man, and asking for a lot of things. Even when he got all that he asked for, he still didn't finish the hair, instead continued to blab on and on about his visitor's names and how they are undeserving of the food and drinks. .... I am even frustrated, imagine how the man would be feeling.

Let's see what he does in the next story, and what could have transpired again to make the man hate him that much and swear never to eat at the same table with him or share a space with him. Maybe, his incessant talking had caused the man to lose the chance to see the beloved girl he fell in love with and had his health deteriorating by the day until that day when the good news was brought to him that the girl accepted to meet with him.
