The Man and His Two Wives (aesop)

In the old days, when men were allowed to have many wives, amiddle-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.Now the Man's hair was turning grey, which the young Wife did notlike, as it made him look too old for her husband. So every nightshe used to comb his hair and pick out the white ones. But theelder Wife saw her husband growing grey with great pleasure, forshe did not like to be mistaken for his mother. So every morningshe used to arrange his hair and pick out as many of the blackones as she could. The consequence was the Man soon found himselfentirely bald.
