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（頭巾，無檐帽） 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."

　　過去有一個人，頭上沒有頭發(fā)。

　　冬天大受寒冷，夏天則苦惱于太陽暴曬之熱，加上蚊虻叮咬，晝夜不得安寧，十分痛苦。

　　有一位醫(yī)師，懂得很多醫(yī)道方法，這個禿子便來到醫(yī)師的住所，對醫(yī)師說：“我只希望大師您能替我治好他。”而那個醫(yī)師也是個禿子，于是他就脫下帽子來給那個人看，對他說：“我也得了這個病，也為它感到非常痛苦。如果我能把你的病治好的話，我早就先把自己治好，除去這種痛苦了。”
