先给我刮脸

A barber was in his shop, busily cutting a man's hair, when a handsome young stranger came in. He had a small boy with him. They sat down together and waited until the barber had finished. Then the young man told the barber to shave him and to cut the small boy's hair.

The barber said, "Do you want me to cut the boy's hair first, or toshave you?

"Oh, shaveme," said theyoungman. "Then I'll go down the road and have a glass of wine while you're cutting the boy's hair."

The young man sat downinthe barber's chair, and the barber began to shave him.

Whenhehadfinished, the young man got up and said, "I'll go down the road now and have my wine while you're cutting the boy's hair."

"All right, but I won't take long." The barber warned him. The young man went out, the small boy obediently sat down in the barber's chair, and the barber began to cut his hair.

As he had said, he soon finished, and then the boy sat down and waited. At the end of half an hour, when the young man had still not come back, the barber said to the boy, "It is a pity that your daddy's taking such a long time. Where is he likely to be now?"

"I can't guess," answered the small boy."And that man wasn't my daddy.I've never seen him before in my life. I was playing in the street this morning, and he came up to me and asked me whether I'd like to have my hair cut without having to pay anything. I said I would, because my hair was rather long, so he brought me here."

理发师正在忙着给人剪头发，这时一个英俊的年轻人走进了理发店，身边跟着一个小男孩儿。他们一起坐了下来。等到理发师忙完了，年轻人让理发师给他刮刮脸，给小男孩儿剪剪头发。

理发师问：“先给小孩儿剪发呢，还是先给你刮脸?”

“哦，先给我刮脸吧。”年轻人说，“这样你在给他剪发的时候，我到路那边儿喝杯酒去。”

于是年轻人坐在椅子上，理发师开始给他刮脸。

刮完脸后，年轻人站了起来，他说，“我到路那边儿喝一杯去了，你给孩子剪吧。”

理发师提醒他说：“好吧，不过快点儿，我用不了多少时间就剪好了。”年轻人走了出去，小男孩乖乖地坐在理发室的椅子上，理发师开始给他剪头发。

正如理发师所说的，他很快就剪完了，于是小男孩坐下来等着。半小时之后，那个年轻人还没有回来，理发师对小男孩说：“真是的，你爸爸去了这么久也不回来。他现在在哪儿呢?”

“我可不知道，”小男孩回答，“那个人不是我爸爸，我以前从没见过他。今天早晨我在街上玩儿，他走到我跟前问我是否愿意免费剪头发。我说愿意，因为我的头发太长了，于是他就带我来这儿了。”
