King Lavra (Adaptation)

Hurry, hurry, purchase the third row. The second row is all ready filled with the king's officials. The first row is reserved for the king's court. In the sky the lark is singing. The barber is thinking: "Why me, why I have to go?" The forth row is filling up. Cameras are calling: action. Newspaper boy is shouting: "Come to see the barber's head will be down." Poor barber doesn't see he is a center of attraction. He would rather be in his shop telling his customers little jokes. The willow whistle blows: "Look at the King Lavra's big ears." Little barber is smiling. He doesn't have to hold somebody's secrets anymore. Will King Lavra take this joke well? It's hard to tell. Copyright (c)5/5/08 Marie Neumann Pottsville
