• The Adventures of Bill the Barber

  Since I had my wisdom teeth out and I was going to bed early, my twelve yeard old brother Paul told me a bedtime story the other night. He had to use Bill the Barber, a lollipop, and a bowling alley in his story . . .

  ---

  Paul:  Now Bill the Barber was giving a haircut to a customer.  But the customer said, ‘You know what letter I don’t like? B. I hate the letter B.’  The customer’s name was Chris.  So Chris said, ‘The letter B is terrible.‘  Well that was enough.  Bill the Barber said, ‘That’s it! Because of that, you don’t get a lollipop!’  Because Bill the Barber always gave his customers a lollipop when he was done, but not Chris, because Chris didn’t like the letter B.   

  Well Chris was very upset about that.  So he said, ’I'm going to sue you!’  So they went to court.  And the judge didn’t know what to do . . . because they both had such good arguments!  On the one hand, Chris didn’t like the letter B, but on the other hand, Bill the Barber didn’t give Chris a lollipop.  Who was right?!  So to decide who was right, the judge said they would go bowling to decide the court’s win.

  The whole town was excited for the bowling event.  Everyone would be watching it on TV.  It was so exciting!  They trained for a whole month, and then finally it came time.  Everyone was there!  

  Bill the Barber went first.  He got his bowling ball, and stepped up, pulled his arm back . . . and the ball went into the crowd!  You know how when you put your arm back . . . ? Yeah.  That’s what happened.  So he went back and got the next ball.  And this time he went up, let it go, and got a spare!  The crowd went wild!

  Philip: Except the guy who got hit with the first bowling ball.

  Paul: Yeah, except him.  (LAUGHS)  Now it was Chris’s turn.  Chris got his ball, got ready, and threw the ball so hard that it went through the wall!  It didn’t even hit the pins!  It made a hole in the wall.  It went through the wall, into the town . . . and even into a barber shop.  So Chris lost the bowling match.  Bill the Barber had won.

  So Bill the Barber went back to his store.  But when he went back to his store, there was a huge hole in his window . . . in the exact shape of a bolwing ball! 

  Philip: And was the ball in the chair?
  
  Paul: Yeah!  It was in the chair.  So Bill the Barber . . . well he was furious.  So he went back to court and sued Chris.  And they both had good arguments AGAIN.  So the judge said, ‘Ok, to settle this, the one who eats the most lollipops wins.’  So they had a lollipop eating contest.

  Well Chris LOVED lollipops.  In fact, he won 50 to 0!  Because Bill the Barber didn’t even like lollipops.  So Chris won the court case.

  And then it was life as normal.  That’s the end of the story.
