Two little boys from a kindergarten
in Boston went into barber shop to
have their hair cut. Two men were
there awaiting their turn. An exchange
tells good story of what happened.
The barrier said to one of the boys:
run over to the store across the street
and see if my assistant is there Tell
him to hurry up and come back, there
are four men waiting" The boy went,
found the man, and gave the message,
except that he said there were two men
and two boys waiting. Then he added:
''The barber told me to say four men,
but wasn't going to tell lie for two
men" why not?' asked the man.
why" responded the boy, don't you
suppose we have a picture of George
Washington over In our kindergarten? ?"
