This happened when I was ten. On a normal Sunday, I went to the barber shop where I always went. That day, along with the barber there was an assistant, who had recently1 the shop.
So I sat for the haircut. The uncle asked me how2 I wanted it. I answered, "Just do as my dad had3 you the last time."
He smiled. Before starting the4 , he added, "What if I keep it long?"
I 5 he was joking. So I joked too. I said, "can't 6 what would happen to your shop then!"
The moment I said it, the assistant7 from behind."How dare do you say that! Who are you to take us down, eh?"
I admit I was too8 at that moment and the uncle standing beside me was giving me an9 look.
From that day on, I10 stopped joking about anyone's profession and works. It is one of the most11 in my life, which taught me to12 the profession and works of a person, no matter how13 they are.
I'm14 that the assistant responded in a way that made me rethink the power of my words. Words do make a 15 .
