      Số là có một người đàn bà chết trôi, có mang đã 7 – 8 tháng, cái xác chết còn đang để chờ quan khám rồi mới liệm. Thì bỗng dưng thấy chỗ xác chết có máu ra lai láng; coi kỹ thì trong quần người đàn bà có đứa con trai ra và cố nhiên cũng đã chết.
      There was a drown woman who was already pregnant for 7 or 8 months; her corpse was sent to autopsy before inhumation. There they noticed that she let out a lot of blood; after checking her bottom, they discovered that her son was in mid-delivery and obviously he was also dead.
