Bob agreed（同意）．“Yes，I think you're right，Jack．Now I’ll tell you what to do when you go into a barber's shop next time：look at all the barbers' hair，find out whose hair looks worst，and then go straight to him．”

“Why shall I go to him?” Jack asked．“But that would be foolish!”

“Oh，no，it wouldn't，” answered Bob．“Who cut that man’s hair? Just think it．He couldn't cut it himself，could he? Another of the barbers cut it．So you know he can't be the worst barber．”
