Sarah Jean admires her uncle Jed very much. Uncle Jed is a barber and he often tells her his dream of having a barbershop. Uncle Jed’s dream seems to be odd. Most people make a living on a farm but he is different. He dreams of having his barbershop.
When Sarah was five, she needed an operation. Her parents could not afford it and asked Uncle Jed’s help. Without hesitation, he gave the needed amount. For him, it’s better to sacrifice for some years than losing his niece.
After a time, Uncle Jed bought a land and was able to build a shop. Yet, he doesn’t have enough equipment. Unfortunately, another unexpected thing happened. He lost his $3000 due to bank failing. He started saving all over again. He cut his customer’s hair even if they couldn’t pay him in cash.
When he was 79 years old, he opened his long-time dream barbershop. People came from all over the country to have their hair cut. Sarah Jean had her hair cut, too.
Uncle Jed died not long after that but he died a happy man. He didn’t give up on his dream and that was what his niece learned from him- TO DREAM.
