Label TextIn this story a young baseball player tolerates a haircut by his father, who wants him to look suitable for an upcoming game. When the father gets distracted and abandons the task, the boy ends up with half a haircut. His appearance irritates him so much that he fails his team. Later his anger dissipates as he appreciates his father's struggle to support the family.
