A man and his two wives

There was once a man who had two wives. One of them was old, and the other was young. The man himself was not young. His hair was divided to two colours, his hair was half black and other was white.

When the man stayed with her second wife, the first wife who was still young did not want her husband to look old because she herself was not old (still young). So she pulled out all his husband’s white hair to made him look young.

But when the man went to his first wife, the second wife who was old did not want her husband to look young because she herself was old. So she pulled out all his husband’s black hair to made him look old.

At last the poor man had neither black hair nor white hair on his head, he had not hair forever.
