A bald man put another’s hair on his head and went riding. A gust of wind blew it off, and the onlookers roared with laughter. Stopping his horse, he said, “Why should I be surprised that hair which was never mine has deserted me, when it abandoned even the man it belonged to, on whose head it was born?” Let no one grieve over the misfortunes that befall him, for what was not naturally his at birth will not remain with him. We all came into the world naked, and naked we shall leave it.

Izvirnik

Φαλακρός τις, ξένας τρίχας τῇ ἑαυτοῦ περιθεὶς κεφαλῇ, ἵππευεν. Ἄνεμος δὲ φυσήσας ἀφεῖλε ταύτας· γέλως δὲ πλατύς τοὺς παρεστῶτας εἶχε. Κἀκεῖνος εἶπε τοῦ δρόμου παύσας· ,,τὰς οὐκ ἐμὰς τρίχας τί ξένον φεύγειν με, αἵ καὶ τὸν ἔχοντα ταύτας, μεθʼ οὗ καὶ ἐγεννήθησαν, κατέλιπον;“

Ὅτι μηδεὶς λυπείσθω ἐπὶ συμφοραῖς ἐπελθούσαις αὐτῷ· ὅ γὰρ γεννηθεὶς οὐκ ἔσχεν ἐκ φύσεως, τοῦτο οὐδὲ παραμένει· γυμνοὶ γὰρ ἤλθομεν οἱ πάντες, γυμνοὶ οὖν ἀπελευσόμεθα.
