About this episode

<p>The sultan hated getting haircuts because of his big secret: He had horns on top of his head! He was so afraid that people would find out that he threw every barber who cut his hair in prison. Finally, the only barber left in town was summoned to the sultan. Would he be thrown in prison like the barbers before him? Rabbi Mark Kaiserman retells the story. For a written version, see <em>The Sultan's Horns</em> in "The Jewish Story Finder" by Sharon Barcan Elswit.</p>
