A Man of middle age, whose hair was turning grey, had two

Sweethearts, an old woman and a young one. The elder of the two

didn't like having a lover who looked so much younger than

herself; so, whenever he came to see her, she used to pull the

dark hairs out of his head to make him look old. The younger, on

the other hand, didn't like him to look so much older than

herself, and took every opportunity of pulling out the grey

hairs, to make him look young. Between them, they left not a hair

in his head, and he became perfectly bald.
