Curing Baldness 治秃头

Once, there was a man who was bothered by total baldness.

 

In winter, he felt particularly cold, while in summer, the heat scorched¹ his head, bitten by mosquitoes and gadflies, he had no peace day or night.

 

It came to his knowledge that there was a doctor who knew many cures. So the bald man called on him at his residence and implored² him, "Master, please cure my illness." But the doctor was bald too. He removed his turban（头巾，无檐帽） and told his patient, "You see? I am also bothered by baldness. If I could cure the disease, I ought first to rid myself of it."

 

过去有一个人，头上没有头发。

 

冬天大受寒冷，夏天则苦恼于太阳暴晒之热，加上蚊虻叮咬，昼夜不得安宁，十分痛苦。

 

有一位医师，懂得很多医道方法，这个秃子便来到医师的住所，对医师说：“我只希望大师您能替我治好他。”而那个医师也是个秃子，于是他就脱下帽子来给那个人看，对他说：“我也得了这个病，也为它感到非常痛苦。如果我能把你的病治好的话，我早就先把自己治好，除去这种痛苦了。”
