Maybe it was the heat of the long summer,maybe Mama read about hats in a magazine or book,but in someway she got the idea that Papa should not wear a heavy wool cowboy hat in the hot weather. She began to believe that Papa would lose his hair if he did.

• 也许是因为那一年漫长的夏天酷暑难耐，也许是妈妈在杂志或书中读到了有关帽子的内容，反正她认为大热天爸爸不该戴那么厚的毡牛仔帽，不然他就要掉头发。
