103. Aesop's Fables - The Man and His Two Wives

Once there lived a man who had two wives. One of his wife was very pretty and young, while the other was much older to him.
The other wife always felt embarrassed for being married to a much younger man. So whenever he was with her, she tried plucking his hairs that were not gray. Similarly, the younger woman embarrassed at being married to a man who was much older than herself. So she would try to pluck his hairs that were gray. Soon, the man was left with no hair on his head.

Moral : It is impossible to outwit time.

Proverb: Yield to all and you will soon have nothing to yield.
