been condemned to be executed for it. He expressed his desire
to see his Mother, and to speak with her before he was led to
execution, and of course this was granted. When his Mother
came to him he said: "I want to whisper to you," and when she
brought her ear near him, he nearly bit it off. All the bystanders

make the effort to create that sort of impact in their children's
minds. |

Now the Man's hair was turning grey, which the young Wife did
not like, as it made him look too old for her husband. So every
night she used to comb his hair and pick out the white ones. But
the elder Wife saw her husband growing grey with great pleasure,
for she did not like to be mistaken for his mother. So every
morning she used to arrange his hair and pick out as many of the
black ones as she could. The consequence was the Man soon
found himself entirely bald.
