### [44.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2121.44.30)

昔有夫婦。共食三餅。人各一枚。餘一欲破分。婦言。莫分。與君共賭。各自不語。先語者失。後語者得。於是閉口至于中夜。竇土偷入。見其二人坐而不語。謂是大怖不敢作聲。收斂其物擔將出戶。婦大喚曰。汝是丈夫那置物去。夫言。我勝我勝。今得大餅。眾人責笑謂大顛癡（出百句譬喻經第二卷）。

> Formerly, there were a husband and wife who were sharing three cakes. Each took one, and one remained, which they were about to divide. The wife said: 'Do not divide it. Let us make a bet: neither of us shall speak. Whichever speaks first loses; whichever speaks last gets it.' Thereupon they closed their mouths until midnight. A thief dug through the earth and broke in. Seeing the two sitting without speaking, he thought they were terrified and dared not utter a sound. He gathered their belongings, shouldered them, and was about to go out the door. The wife shouted loudly: 'You are a man! How can you just let him take our things away?' The husband said: 'I win! I win! Now I get the big cake!' Everyone blamed and mocked them, calling them utterly foolish. (Extracted from the Hundred Parables Sūtra, fascicle 2).
