bought one of his brooms, and, when he had shaved him, asked for the
price of it."Two pence,"said the man."No, no, "said the barber, "I will
give you a penny, and if you do not think that enough, you may take your
broom again."The man took it, and asked what he had to pay for his
shave."A penny."said the barber."I will give you a half-penny, and if
that is not enough, you may put my beard on again."
