One day in the forest while hunting a hunter saw an old bearded man standing before him. He had long hair and bushy beard. He looked like a mad man. He was dancing and singing a strange song. The hunter could not understand the meaning of the song. He took the man home and asked him to meet his wife. Mr and Mrs hunter scrubbed and scrubbed the man in a tub and shaved his buggy beard. The strange man protested but the hunter held him tight. The next day, when he returned to the forest, Mr hunter was amazed to see that the forest was dying. He was puzzled at first and then a thought occurred to him. He let the man re-grow his beard. And the forest was again the same as before. The strange man disappeared into the forest and was never found again.
