The Bald Knight

        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."
