Hayden was excited for his friend's birthday party. He couldn't wait to play games, eat cake, and see all his friends. But as Hayden's mom drove him to the party, he had a special request.

"Mom, can I get a viking haircut for the party?" Hayden asked. "I want to look just like a real viking!"

Hayden's mom smiled. "Well, I think that's a wonderful idea! Let's stop by the barbershop on the way and get you all fixed up."

At the barbershop, the kind barber carefully trimmed Hayden's hair into a classic viking style, with long locks on the sides and a short, shaved top. Hayden grinned from ear to ear as he admired his new look in the mirror.

"Wow, I look just like a viking warrior!" Hayden exclaimed. He could hardly wait to show off his new haircut at the party.
