    There’s a Japanese one where an old man with a wen dances for some drunk ogres and they take his wen to make him come back the next day (because wens are a sign of luck for them). The next day another old man in the village sees that the first guy has gotten rid of his wen so he makes him explain how, so the second old man goes and tries to entertain the ogres but he sucks at dancing, so the ogres have had enough of him and tell him to get lost and give him the wen back, so that guy ends up with two wens.
