In the old days, when men were
allowed to have many wives, a middle-aged Man had one wife that was old
and one that was young; each loved him very much, and desired to see him
like herself. So every night she used to comb his hair and pick out the white ones. But the elder wife saw her husband growing grey with great pleasure, for she did not like to be mistaken for his mother. So every morning she used to arrange his hair and pick out as many of the black ones as she could. The consequence was the man soon found himself entirely bald.
