5. Story Once, a person was selling a slave. Someone came and bought the slave. Before selling him, the seller told the buyer that the slave has the fault of carrying tales. The buyer did not worry about it and bought the slave. He took the slave home and gave him work to do. After working for a few days, the slave came to the wife of the master and told her that her husband didn't like her anymore and was planning to remarry.

6. The wife said in shock, "What are you saying?" The slave said, "I am telling the truth. However, I have a plan which, if you carry out, will make him love you more." The master's wife said, "Tell me this plan." The slave said, "When your husband sleeps at night, shave off a few hairs from under his beard. This is a proven method."

7. The slave went up to the master and said, "It seems that your wife is interested in someone else and wishes to kill you." The master said in surprise, "That cannot be possible." The slave said, "Test it out for yourself. Tonight pretend to be asleep and see what happens."

8. That night, the wife took a razor and stretched her hand forward to shave some hair from behind his beard. As she put her hand forward, the master caught her hand and killed her with the same razor. The wife's family heard about it and killed the husband. In turn the husband's family heard about it and killed the wife's family. This fight lasted for many years. This was because of the evil of carrying tales.
