The Bald Knight
Posted by kathavarta on June 29, 2008
A Bald Knight, who wore a wig, went out to hunt.
A sudden puff of wind blew off his hat and wig, at which a loud laugh rang forth from his companions.
He pulled up his horse, and with great glee joined in the joke by saying, “What a marvel it is that hairs which are not mine should fly from me, when they have forsaken even the man on whose head they grew.”
Moral:
Thy pride is but the prologue of thy shame.
