【笑話原文】

The Bald Guy

Once there was an old guy, who was growing old and starting to lose his hair. By the time he had gone completely bald, he decided to cover his bald head with a wig. One day, he went out hunting with some friends. A strong wind suddenly blew his wig off. When his friends saw what had happened, they started laughing so hard that they could not stop. The bald guy started laughing, too, and just as loudly as the other men.

He said to his friends, "How can I expect my fake hair to stay on my head when even my real hair won’t stay there?"

指望假發

從前有一個老人，因為年齡的增長，他的頭發開始脫落。在徹底變成禿頂之前，他決定弄一頂假發來遮蓋禿了的頭。 有一天，他和幾個朋友出去玩。一陣大風把他的假發吹掉了。朋友們看到后都忍不住大笑起來。 這位禿頂的老人也開始和其他人一樣大聲地笑了起來。他對朋友們說：“連我自己的真頭發都不愿留在我的腦門上，我怎么還能指望一頂假發乖乖地在上面呆著呢？”
