As soon as you enter the Barber Shop,
the crowd breaks into applause.
"You've returned our Quartet!"
someone shouts.  "We don't have to
listen to { anymore!"
*36
You lead < out of the Barber Shop.
"Let's take this constellation back
to Star Gazer's Knoll!" you say.

">," Ursa Minor says to you with a
soft purr, "you put stars in my
eyes!"
*37
In the far corner of the Barber Shop,
< } singing.
*500
Orion, the Hunter, sings very loudly
and off-key.  Each note from his
throat sounds like a chalk arrow
scratching across a mile-long
chalkboard.  Yikes!
*501
Each of the Seven Sisters has a
lovely voice; however, none of them
can keep harmony.  They sound
terrible!
*502
The Cup makes awful pinging noises as
if someone were pelting its metal
surface with pebbles.  The sound is
horrible!
*503
Unfortunately, all of Hydra's words
sound like they are losing steam.
"Sssssss, sssssss," the Serpent says.
Hydra can't sing at all!
*504
Each note that Cygnus sings sounds
like it may be the last.  The crowd
covers its ears. Will this be Cygnus'
swan song? you wonder.
*505
Each note from Hercules' lips sounds
as if it could topple a building.
Hercules may be a mighty laborer, but
as a singer, he's likely to cave the
whole Barber Shop in!
*506
The Dolphin sings in clicks that come
from its blow hole.  While the sound
is considered very beautiful by other
dolphins, to human ears it is
unbearable!
*507
Pegasus whinnies and flaps his wings
in song.  "Not bad," Ursa says.

"Gadzooks!" you cry.  "It's not very
good either!"
*508
The Dragon spews fire with each note
it sings, burning the hair off some
of the Barber Shop's patrons.
*509
Cepheus the King stands royally
before the Barber Shop patrons, and
although his mouth opens and closes
beautifully, the poor king can't
carry a note!
*38
"This won't do!" you say to Ursa
Minor. "Let's get this constellation
out of here!"

You reach out to take {, but the
crowd stops you.
*39
"You're not taking {!" a man with
very long hair says snippily. "At
least not until you find our Barber
Shop Quartet that this bizarre singer
mysteriously replaced!" The crowd
mutters cutting remarks.
*40
"We'd better bring them their Barber
Shop Quartet," you say.

"Well, >," Ursa Minor says, "let's
search Star Town."
*41
As soon as you enter the Barber Shop
for the second time, you are
assaulted by the sound of singing--
horrible singing!  The Barber Shop
crowd, however, seems to prefer bad
singing to no singing at all!  "I
think we'd better find their Quartet
if we want to put { back in the sky!"
Ursa Minor says.
*42
"Sufferin' Sirius!" Ursa Minor
exclaims as you enter the Barber Shop
for the third time.  "< } still
singing. Let's find that Barber Shop
Quartet before we start seeing
stars!"
*43
As you and Ursa Minor enter the
Barber Shop, you find yourself bathed
in the beautiful melodious harmonies
of the Star Town Barber Shop Quartet.
"They're wonderful!" you sigh, as you
and Ursa Minor leave the Barber Shop.
*44
In the far corner of the Barber Shop
you notice /.  Do you need /?
*45
You already have the \ with you.  You
must take care of what you have
before you pick up anything new.
*551
"Ah ha!" you say to Ursa.  "Just what
we've been looking for!" You and Ursa
tuck the truck into your wagon and
pull it out of the Barber Shop.
*552
You put the reel of film into your
wagon and wrap your arm around Ursa.
"Now, I've got stars on both sides of
me!" you say to Ursa as you leave the
Barber Shop.
*553
"Excuse me, sir," you say to the
waiter. "You look rather lost.  If
you follow me, I can return you to
your Restaurant."

The waiter pulls out his book of
checks and hops into your wagon.
*554
With the help of your little bear
friend, you heave the cage into your
wagon and drag the wagon out of the
Barber Shop.
*555
"Excuse me, madam," you say to the
woman dressed in a business suit and
flight goggles.  "If you follow me, I
can take you back to the Airport."

The controller smiles and says "Thank
you!  You know, I can't even remember
what I'm doing here!" She steps into
your wagon and sits down.
*556
"Excuse me, sir," you say to the
librarian whose nose is deep inside a
large book.  "You look rather out of
place here.  If you follow me, I can
return you to the Grammar School."

The librarian happily settles into
your wagon and opens a book.  He
reads while you pull him out of the
Barber Shop.
*557
"Excuse me, Madam," you say to the
doctor.  "If you follow me, I can
return you to all your patients at
the Hospital."

The doctor pulls her white coat about
her shoulders and sits down in your
wagon.
*558
"Excuse me, sir," you say to the
astronomer.  "If you follow me, I can
return you to the Observatory."

The astronomer adjusts his glasses,
stumbles into your wagon, and
mutters, "Thank you, thank you, I
didn't think I was in the right
place."
*47
You and Ursa Minor are in an antique
Barber Shop.  There are several
barber's chairs and a large mirror.
Near the rear of the Barber Shop is a
small stage.  A crowd is gathered
around it.
*48
You and Ursa Minor walk back into the
antique Barber Shop.
*49
"Nothing much here," you say to Ursa.
"Let's get out of here and continue
searching Star Town.
*50
You drop off the Barber's Pole.
"Let's go rescue another
constellation," you say to Ursa, and
quickly leave the Barber Shop.
