The Cruel Barber and His Glassware
Page 1
Once, there was a barber. When his father died, he was left with 100 gold coins. He used this money to buy glassware: beautiful plates, cups, and other things.

He looked at his glassware, and he began to imagine his future. He said, “When I sell this glassware, I will have 200 gold coins. Then, I can buy more glassware.”

The barber said, “I will continue to buy and sell glassware. When I have 3000 gold coins, I will buy a house. I will also have many servants.”

The barber smiled. He said, “I will become so rich that I can marry the prime minister’s daughter. But I will not be kind to her.”

The cruel barber said, “I will not even look at my beautiful wife. She will have to beg for just one glance from me. And I will not speak to her.”

The barber’s wicked eyes gleamed. He said, “Her mother will come. She will beg me to be kind to her daughter. But I will ignore her mother, too!”

The evil barber set his tray of glassware on the floor. He thought, “My wife’s mother will fill a glass with sweet water. She will tell her daughter to give it to me.”
