The barber
is a very useful member of society. He earns his living by shaving people or
cutting their hair. He goes from house to house and village to village, serving
the farmers and others in many different ways. He takes their messages, and
buys and sells many things for them. He also helps them select satiable matches
for their sons and daughters. He is of great service to them at the time of a
birth or a funeral. But he is not paid anything from day to day or month to
month. He gets his share of wheat, rice, grams and cotton, when the farmers
reap the harvest. This is enough for his yearly requirements. He gets about
twenty rupees at the time of a marriage. He does not lead a happy life. He is
ill-fed and ill-dressed. His future is seldom bright. But he is content with
his lot.
