📖 The Story
Sumeth was a young soldier in a big camp. During the week, they always worked very hard. But it was Saturday, and all the young soldiers were free, so their officer said to them, “You can go into the town this afternoon, but first I’m going to inspect you.”
Sumeth came to the officer, and the officer said to him, “Your hair is very long. Go to the barber and then come back to me again.”
Sumeth ran to the barber’s shop, but it was closed because it was Saturday. Sumeth was very sad for a few minutes, but then he smiled and went back to the officer.
“Are my boots clean now, sir?” he asked.
The officer did not look at Sumeth’s hair. He looked at his boots and said, “Yes, they are much better now. You can go out. And next week, clean your boots first, and then come to me.”
