Once a wise old monk of China stumbled upon the path that led to a Barber shop in India. He went into the shop. The barber was pleased to give the monk a hair-cut.But,seeing no tract of hair ; he quipped-" I'm sorry sir, i cannot help you out maybe when your hair is old enough to be grown then please do come again. I wont charge you anything."
The monk left blessing the Barber,"As you wish.Blessed Soul."
Next morning,a line of young-monks awaited before the Barber.
He was surprised and asked,"What brings you here , O greatly blessed ones." The Monk who was the youngest and greatly infront at the line quipped,"Your eyes twinkled with joy whence you attended upon our Holy-one of the Monastery. He has asked us to come down and see the joy in your eyes again." Saying this, they all blessed him and went away.
Next day, a newspaper boy came in for a haircut. The Barber gave him the haircut and said," I'm doing this for community sake." Next day, whence the barber opened the door, he found a thank-you note with a pile of Magazines. The note read--"For the interest of the community;that visits you everyday."
