English Original
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."

从前有一个人,因完全秃顶而深感苦恼。
冬天,他感到刺骨寒冷。夏天,太阳灼烤着他的头,蚊虫叮咬不断,令他昼夜不得安宁。
他听说有一位医生,以通晓多种疗法而闻名。这位秃顶男子便前往医生的住所,恳求道:“大师,请您治好我的病痛。”
然而,这位医生也是个秃子。他摘下自己的头巾,对病人说:“你看?我也受秃顶之苦。如果我能治好这个病,我早就先治好自己了。”
