The Barber Shop

The Barber Shop Jimmy is crying. He doesn't want to get his hair cut. He is afraid. It is his first time going to a barber. He does not l ike the sounds in a barber shop. There are many strange smells too. Mr. Howard, the barber, smiles. " Hello Jimmy, " he says. " So, this is your first haircut? I will take good care of you. He begins to cut. Jimmy closes his eyes. " Please don't cut my ear! ” he cries. As he works, the barber talks to Jimmy. " Do you know that people who have red hair like you have only 90, 000 hairs on their head? People who have black hair have more than 110, 000 hairs. "

" Hmmm, that is interesting, " thinks Jimmy. " The average hair lives about five and a half years, And we lose about 100 hair a day, " says Mr. Howard. Jimmy likes the barber. In no time at all, the barber says. " You can open your eyes now. " Jimmy cannot believe it. It didn't hurt. It was fun. And, he learned something interesting about hair.
