When Mary smith was a student, she always wanted to become a teacher, because she liked children. When she was twenty-one years old, she began teaching in a small school. she was a good teacher, and she laughed a lot with the children in her class. They enjoyed her teaching.

One day one of the girls in her class said to her, ” Miss Smith, why does a man’s hair become gray before his mustache and beard do?”

Mary laughed and answered, ” I don’t know, Helen. why does it become gray before his mustache and beard do?”

” I don’t know either, Miss Smith,” answered Helen, ” but it happened to my father.” The other children in the class laughed when they heard this.

Then one of the boys said, ” I know, Miss Smith! men’s hair become gray first because it’s sixteen years older than their mustaches and beards.”
