In one of Aesop's fables, there is this story about "The Man and His Two Wives". In the old days, a man can marry many wives. Once there was such a man. One wife is young, another one wive is is old. Because men turn middle age. He has  men have grey hair when they reach middle age. Even his wives very love him. But the his young wife doesn't like it. She Every night she would comb his hair and pick out his white hair. However, the old lady doesn't like his black hair. Every morning she would arrange his black hair and pick them out them. Later the man found himself as a bald one. The moral of the story is that you shouldn't get every one to agree with your opinion all the time, otherwise you will lose when everyone agrees. So that is why this story teaches us that to "Yield to all and you will soon have nothing to Yield."

I guess to Yield first is to obey, but latter to Yield all the time is to lose. Is that right? I like Aesop fables. They are short and enlightening. Do you like to read it in English to learn a new language too?

The man and his two wives summary

In the old days, men can marry many wives.once a man married two wives. One wife is young, the other one wive is old. Because the man turned middle age, he has grey hair. Even though his wives very love him very much,  the younger wife doesn't like his grey hair. She would comb his hair and pick out his white hair every night. But the older wife doesn't like his black hair, so every morning she would arrange his black hair and pick them out them. Later the man found himself as a bald one. As my word you can't always get everyone to agree with your opinion , otherwise you will lose everyone's agreement. Instead of This Aesop's fables said "Yield to all and you will soon have nothing to Yield." I guess first Yield is obey and latter Yield is reproduce. Is that right? I like how Aesop's fables are short and enlightening. Do you like to read to learning a new language through reading too?

Great summary Kinson! However, the learning of this fable is not that "having everyone to agree with your opinion will lose everyone's agreement", rather if you always compromise to/obey other people's needs/wishes, you will eventually lose yourself. Like how the man in the story let his wives to pick out his hair in order to please them, but then ended up with no hair at all.
