> Band Leader of Nomads
>
> In the great desert lived a band of nomads. Their leader, Benny, had risen
> to his rank due to his magnificent beard. His people believed a man's
> strength and courage came from his beard. Thus, the man with the biggest
> beard was their chief.
>
> After leading the band for many years, Benny decided he wanted to shave.
He
> asked the elders for their advice. They were shocked. They reminded him of
> the ancient warning that the leader who shaved would be turned into
> earthenware.
>
> Benny scoffed at that, and cut his beard. As the final whisker was cut, a
> huge dust storm came up. When it cleared, there stood a man-sized clay
> vessel. The elders knew the legend must be true.
>
> Their conclusion? "A Benny shaved is a Benny urned."
