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.<br /> <br /> 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?"<br /> <br /> Mary laughed and answered, "I don't know, Helen. Why does it become gray before his mustache and beard do?"<br /> <br /> "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.<br /> <br /> Then one boy said, "I know, Miss Smith! Men's hair becomes gray first because it is sixteen years older than their mustaches and beards."
