Visits to the barber

One day, a mithai shop-ownerwent to a saloon for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, ‘I cannot accept money from you this week. It’s Ramzan.’ The mithaiwala was pleased and left the shop.

When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, he found two boxes of sweets waiting for him at the saloon’s entrance. Later, a mobile shop-owner comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, ‘I cannot accept money from you. It’s Ramzan this week.’

The customer was happy and left.

The next evening on Eid, there were adozen politicians lined up at the saloon waiting for a free haircut.
