Try as he would, he could not get it out, so he went to a barber in the town and said:\n\"Friend Barber, I have a thorn in the end of my tail. Pull it out, and I will pay you well.\"\nThe barber tried to pull out the thorn with his razor, but in doing so he cut off the end of the tail.","tags":["Filipino Ethnography","Philippine Folklore","Southeast Asian Folktales"],"text":null,"title":"Philippine Folk Tales: Christianized Tribes: The Story of a Monkey","tradition":"Asia","translated_text":null,"word_count":371}
