The Barber Whose Uncle Had His Head Bitten Off by a Circus Tiger

People kept telling him to get a haircut, because he had too much black hair. The author says that the barber isn't a very good barber and he doesn't do anything important, he is just rolling his cigarettes and watching people going by. Also he doesn't have any costumers. The barber was really kind to the eleven years boy. The boy thought that barber was remarkable he knew it from the way how he behaves. He seemed to him that he knows who is wise and kind and he knows everything. Misak accept the work because he doesn’t had money and he loved animals above all wild animals. The boy was really looking forward to see again the barber because he liked his story about his poor uncle Misak and he wanted to hear another stories and to know more about Misak.

I didn't like the story much. I think it was little bit dry. A young boy went to a barber to get a haircut and he was telling him a short story about his poor uncle. And that's it. Maybe there was some special meaning in the story, but I didn't get it.
