At the Hair Salon: Story
Jennifer goes to a hair salon. Her hair is too long.
She wants it shorter. She needs a trim and she’d like to have a new style.
Jennifer wants shorter hair—especially on the sides.
She likes the back and top just like it is (1). She’d like to look like
Beyoncé when she had short hair.
Jennifer takes a picture (2) of the hair style
she wants to show (3) to her hair stylist (4). His name is Joel.
He’s a monkey (5).
Joel picks up (6) his clippers and scissors.
Jennifer tells him to cut off all the long hair on the sides and off the back,
but not off the front.
Joel cuts seventeen inches off the sides, twenty-four
inches off the back and leaves (7) the top and front just like it is. He
works on Jennifer’s hair for ten hours and sixteen minutes and thirty-two
seconds.
Jennifer’s hair looks great (8). She looks just like (9) Beyoncé.
Jennifer asks Joel how much she owes (10) him.
Joel says it was his privilege to do it and only
asks (11) that Jennifer give him 50% if anyone pays her to take her
(12) photo.
As Jennifer is leaving (13) the hair salon, a
paparazzi sees her. He thinks (14) she is Beyoncé and takes a photo of
her.
The pictures come out in a magazine (15).
Jennifer sues (16) the paparazzi and the magazine and gets (17)
$9,325,491.36. She gives half (18) of the money to Joel.
