The Bald Huntsman | 秃头的猎人

English Original

A man who had lost all his hair took to wearing a wig. One day he went out hunting. It was blowing rather hard at the time, and he hadn't gone far before a gust of wind caught his hat and carried it off, and his wig too. This became a big amusement for the others on the hunt. But he quite entered into the joke, and said, "Ah, well! The hair that wig is made of didn't stick to the head on which it grew, so it's no wonder it won't stick to mine."


中文翻译

一个头发掉光了的人开始戴假发。一天,他外出打猎。当时风刮得很大,他没走多远,一阵狂风就卷走了他的帽子,连同假发也一起吹跑了。这成了其他猎人的一大乐事。但他自己也欣然接受了这个玩笑,说道:“啊,好吧!做成这顶假发的头发,当初就没能留在它生长的那个脑袋上,所以它粘不住我的头也就不足为奇了。”
