(Chinese legend)
There was once a middle-aged man who had two wives. One day, going to visit the youngest, she said to him:
– I am young and you are old; I don't like living with you. He goes to live with his eldest wife.
In order to stay, the man tore the white hair from his head. But when he went to visit his eldest wife, she said to him in turn:
– I'm old and I have a white head; So tear off the black hair you have.
Then the man ripped out his black hair to make his head white. As he relentlessly repeated this procedure, his head became entirely bald. At this point, both wives found him horrible and both abandoned him.
