太太要求丈夫拿剪子來剪掉這可怕的黑流蘇，怎知一剪掉，立刻又長出來。換另一邊胳子窩試試看，也是一樣！請別鎮醫生來看診，醫生只是搖搖頭說：「很抱歉，我束手無策！」丈夫們除了接受責難別無他法，最後他們前往高塔，向鎮長求助。鎮長皺著眉聽完陳述後，跑進房裡打了一通長途電話，才再度回到他們面前。

「嗯嗯，各位先生們，政府掌管衛生的部門，會替我們解決這件事」鎮長說。
「他們打算怎麼解決？」
「這他們沒有吐露…」
「這樣呀…那什麼時候會來處理呢？」丈夫們追問。
「今天下午就會派人來了！」
「那好吧…」丈夫們只能半信半疑的打道回府。


The wives asked their husbands to cut off the horrible underarm tassels, but once they were cut off, immediately growing up lots of new ones instead. They even fetch a doctor to check these hairy patients, but the doctor said “Sorry, there is nothing I can do.” The husbands could do nothing, either, but accepting the harsh blames, then finally they went to Mayor’s tower for seeking help. Knitting his brows through the whole story, Mayor made a long-distance call in the room, then went back to them with an announcement
”Gentlemen, government’s department of health will take charge of this …disaster. ”
”How they gonna do?”
”Um…they did not mention on the phone.”
”Oh… when they gonna take action?”
”Person in charge will be sent here this afternoon.”
”Okey….”the husbands remained in doubt and headed home.
