　　So every night she used to comb his hair and pick out the white ones.

　　But the elder wife was glad to see her husband growing grey, for she did not want to be mistaken for his mother. So every morning she used to comb his hair and pick out the black ones.

　　The consequence was the man soon found himself entirely bald.

　　當男人的頭髮漸漸變得灰白時，年輕太太感到很不高興，因為這使他看起來顯得很老。於是，她每晚幫他梳頭時都拔去一些白髮。

　　但是，年老的太太很高興他的男人變老，因為這樣自己就不會被錯認為是他的媽媽了。於是，每天早晨幫他梳頭時都拔去一些黑髮。
