Explanation:
Once the Sultan was sitting and looking at his head in the mirror. On seeing his long-grown hair, he thought of shaving his head. So, he called a barber to do the same. The barber summoned by the Sultan lived in the city of Cashgar and was very talkative.
After entering the Sultan’s room, the barber started talking non-stop instead of shaving the Sultan’s head.
Naturally, the Sultan got angry. “When are you going to stop talking! Stop talking and start working!” he yelled.
The Sultan called the barber a non-stop talker. “You are a chatterer,” he said.
“Sultan, you are hurting me. I am not a chatterer. All my brothers are chatterers.”
He then started to give details about his six brothers.
“One is humpback; one is toothless; one is half blind; one is quite blind; one is deaf, and one has a speech defect.”
The Sultan lost his patience and called his attendants.
“Come here! Send this barber away. Give him three pieces of gold.”
“No, Sultan. I won’t go. First, I will shave your head and then go. I will leave only after that.”
The barber lost half an hour by narrating another story.
The Sultan said angrily, “Don’t talk of unwanted things. Do your work quickly. I have another affair of greatest importance, which I must tend to. I have to go out at noon.”
The barber pleaded, ‘O Master! Do not be angry. I will begin to shave your head.”
Then, the barber washed the Sultan’s head and started shaving it. But, he hadn’t even touched the Sultan’s head four times with the razor before he stopped and said, “My master, you are acting hastily in this matter.”
The Sultan ordered, “Just shave my head, and speak no more.”
The barber suggested further, “I will give my opinion if you share with me the details of your important affair.”
The barber left the Sultan’s head half shaved.
“My patience is over!” shouted the Sultan.
The barber continued to shave and said, “My master, please be calm.”
At last, the Sultan decided to satisfy the barber and told him about his important work. “I am going to throw a feast for some of my friends at noon.”
