Once upon a time, there was a minister in a kingdom. As he grew old, he lost all his hair. He did not like his bald head. He felt quite embarrassed to go out. So, to avoid any embarrassment, he went to the market and bought a wig to cover his head. He chose a wig with thick black hair. He liked the wig a lot. He would often look at himself in the mirror and say, “How handsome I look with the wig!” One day, he went sailing with his friends. It was a very windy day. The minister and his friends were enjoying their boat-ride. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew. The wind knocked off the minister’s wig. When his friend’s saw him without the wig, they could not control their laughter. The minister felt very embarrassed, but later, he too started laughing. He no longer felt ashamed of himself.
Moral: One should accept oneself without being ashamed.
