The Barber
A barber is working in the shop. The barber is Pantagathus. Caecilius enters.
“Hello, barber!” says Caecilius.
“Hello!” Pantagathus replies.
The barber is busy. An old man is sitting in the chair. Pantagathus is holding a razor and trimming his beard. The old man looks at the razor intently.
A poet enters the shop. The poet stands in the shop and recites a verse. The verse is rude. Caecilius laughs. But the barber does not laugh. The barber is angry.
“Scoundrel! Scoundrel!” Pantagathus shouts. The old man is terrified. The barber doesn’t trim his beard. The barber cuts the old man. Much blood flows.
Caecilius gets up and goes out of the shop.
