There was a man who heard people say: Dogs are very fierce when giving birth. If you enter a house with a dog that is about to give birth, you must carry a stick to protect yourself from being bitten. When his wife went into labor, he thought surely women giving birth must be fierce too, so he didn’t dare approach her bedside and always held a stick in his hand just in case.
Despite his efforts to avoid the situation, he couldn’t escape it; his wife called for him to bring her some food. Terrified, he entered the room with one hand holding the stick and the other carrying a bowl of rice, sneaking in cautiously. Seeing his nervous demeanor, his wife burst out laughing, showing her teeth. He thought she was about to bite him, so he quickly dropped both the stick and the bowl and ran away.
