An aging king finds his hair turning grey. The kings has two wives, one older and one younger, but both wives wish the king to look more suitable for their own age. To please his younger wife, he allows her to remove some of his grey hair every morning; to please his older wife, he allows his older wife to remove some his black hair every evening. Eventually, the king goes bald because all his hair has been removed. This Aesop's fable cautions children: "Yield to all and you will soon have nothing to yield."
