Story 31
 
 
  A man, being tormented story by a contrary wind in his belly and not
having the power to retain it, unwittingly allowed it to escape. He
said: 'Friends, I had no option in what I did, the fault of it is
not to be ascribed to me and peace has resulted to my internal
parts. Kindly excuse me.'
 
 
        The belly is a prison of wind, O wise man.
        No sage retains wind in captivity.
        If wind twists thy belly let it out
        Because wind in the belly is a burden to the heart.
