THE RABBIT AND THE BARBER 69 THE RABBIT AND THE BARBER There was a rabbit who asked a barber to shave him ; in doing so the barber cut ofF his ear. "Take my ear," said the rabbit, "and I will take your razors." A little further on he saw an old woman pulhng grass with her hands. " Take this," he said, giving her the razor, " and cut grass with it, and I will take your cloth." When she asked him why, he replied : "You have my razor and I have your chudder." Then he went a little further and saw ...a ghee seller. " Take my chudder and give me your ghee," said the rabbit. So saying, he left the chudder and walked off with the ghee. Not long after he met a woman, and told her to make him some goolgoolahs, or sweets, with the ghee. As soon as they were ready he picked them up and ran away. 60 THE RABBIT AND THE BARBER A little further on was a man with a plough, a horse, and a bullock. "Take these sweets," said the rabbit, "and I wiU yoke your plough for you."
