A modern fable...

A modern fable...

Early one day, a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, the florist asked the barber about the bill, and the barber replied, "I cannot accept money from you - I'm doing community service this week." The florist was surprised and pleased, and left the shop.

The next day, the barber arrived to open his shop in the morning - there was a 'Thank You' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his front door.

Later that day, policeman comes to the barber, and when he asks about the bill, and the barber again replied, "I cannot accept money from you - I'm doing community service this week." The cop was happy and left the shop.

The next day, the barber discovered a 'Thank You' card and a dozen doughnuts waiting for him at his front door.

Then, a Congressman came in for a haircut. Once again, the barber stated, "I cannot accept money from you - I'm doing community service this week." The Congressman was Very Excited and quite happy as he left the shop.

The next morning, the barber arrived to find a dozen Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.

This story illustrates the fundamental difference in attitude and approach to life between private citizens in our country and those politicians who try to run our country.
