The Bald Man and the Doctor | 秃头男子与医生

点击查看中英对照

Once, there was a man who was greatly troubled by his complete baldness.

In winter, he felt bitterly cold. In summer, the sun scorched his head, and he was bitten by mosquitoes and gadflies, finding no peace day or night.

He learned of a doctor renowned for knowing many cures. The bald man went to the doctor's residence and implored him, "Master, please cure my affliction."

However, the doctor was also bald. He removed his turban and said to his patient, "You see? I too am troubled by baldness. If I could cure this condition, I would have cured myself first."
