The barber Whose Uncle Had His Head Bitten Off by a Circus Tiger by William Saroyan

   This is a very funny story, but on second thought, you will ponder about yourself.
   A boy goes to a barber to have his hair cut. And the barber tells a very funny but scary story to him while his was cutting his hair. At the end of his story, he says his poor uncle had his head bitten off by the tiger. The boy was scared. He wants to go to the barber again to listen to his story of man on earth.

Here at the end of the story, Saroyan’s tone changes. He talks about men in general. He ends the story which relates to every man. That is to say, he talks about something universal, or a sad story of every man alive, who is lost and lonely and always in danger.   

By the way, I wonder this title is good or not, because it reveals the end of the story.
