There was a middle-aged man whose hair began to turn grey . He dated two sweethearts at the same time. One of them was young, and the other was old. The old woman felt ashamed of dating a younger lover. Each time he came to visit her, she pulled out some of his black hairs. The young woman, however, didn't want people to know that she was dating an old man, so she pulled out some of his grey hairs to make him look younger.
The man didn't want to upset either of his sweethearts, so he let them pull out his hair in turns. Then he soon found that he had no hair left on his head.
