Once on the 27th day of the 8th lunar month, a man surprized four white foxes sleeping on the road and the foxes run away. Then it begun suddenly to rain and he went to a home where he usually took shelter. The owner of the house was just taking the coffin for his wife to the graveyard, so he asked the man to wait until he would come back.
While he was there the ghost of the dead wife appeared and tried to eat his arm. A nearby farmer saw how the man run up and down the dam, bleeding from his arm. He was bewitched by a fox and the farmer washed his arm with clear river water to purify it. Thus he came back to his senses. He prepared fried Tofu and went to apologize to the foxes.
It had not really rained that day, but his arm had a wound and was hurting for a long time.
