一日地震屋壞，壓叔齡不能起，家复失火，叔齡母前救不得，欲就焚。 One day an earthquake destroyed the house and pinned Shuling so he could not rise. The house also caught fire. Shuling's mother rushed forward but could not save him and wished to throw herself into the flames.

叔齡望見，呼曰：「吾已不可得出，當亟救吾母。」 Shuling saw from afar and called, "I cannot get out. You must quickly save my mother."

劉謂夫妹曰：「汝救汝母，汝兄必死，吾不用復生矣。」 Liu said to her husband's sister, "You save your mother. Your brother must die. I have no need to live again."
