Once upon a time, there was a King who is very generous, Fair and kind. He meets with rich & poor in same way and didn't give priorities to officers over servants.

He did have a barber who is very close to him. King spent a lot of time with the barber on a daily basis. Actually, Barber went to the king every day and stayed with him for two or three hours. During this time, the king also carried out the affairs of the kingdom. Barber noticed king's daily basis activities, his attitude with his minister and think that why I can't be a minister? I can do minister's duties. Of course, I can. He decided to discuss the matter with the king and ask him to make me a minister. He thinks about it for a time.

And at last one day, the barber asked the king, I am closer to you than the minister. I spend more time with you than minister. I understand you better than him. I am also loyal to you then Why don't you make me a minister instead?

The king smiled and looked at the barber and said, I am ready to make you a minister. But you have to take the test first.

The barber tied his hands to his chest and said,

'Your order' I'll do my best to complete the task in an efficient way and to meet up your expectations.

The king said. Ok, just hear the matter. A ship has arrived at the port. Bring me information about it.

The barber ran to the port. And he came back and spoke. Yes, the plane is standing there.

The king asked. When did this ship arrive? The barber ran to the sea again, came back, and said, 'I came two days ago.'

The king said. Where did this plane come from? The barber ran to the sea for the third time, came back, then the king asked what is loaded on the ship?

The barber ran to the sea for the fourth time & return with the answer.

Then king asked. When will ship departs from here?

The barber ran to the sea again for the fifth time.

Make the long story short. The barber got tired of walking around the sea and the palace till evening.

The king then called the minister and asked him. Is there a ship at sea?

The Minister said with his hands tied.

Sir, two days ago a merchant ship came to our port from Italy. It is loaded with animals, food and clothing. Here is the name of its captain. It arrived here in six months. It will stay here for four more days. From here it will go to Iran. And will stay there for a month. And there are two hundred and nine people on board. And I suggest we raise taxes on ships.

When the king heard this, he looked at the barber.

There was a look of embarrassment on the barber's face because he was ashamed of his stupid behavior and now he knew why minister is a minister and why he's a barber.

(Let's coming back to king's expressions) At that time, The barber get his answer by king's expression and he's quietly picked up the razor and asked.

How do you want to get a haircut?

So undoubtedly, with the reference of this story we can say that

The work suits in the hands of the one skilled to do it. If someone else does it, he's sure to mess it up.
