The Bald Knight

The Bald Knight Lyrics

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 joined in the joke by saying: "What marvel that hairs which are not mine should fly from me, when my own have forsaken even the man with whom they were born." 

 

Moral : Those who cannot take care of their own, should not be entrusted with the care of another's property.
