昔有長者家持蘇瓶。高樓上覆蓋不固。鼠入蘇瓶晝夜食噉。身體遂長蘇既賜盡。鼠滿瓶裏狀似蘇色。有人買蘇。是時長者取蘇著於火上。鼠在瓶裏便於瓶中命終。復化為蘇。賣與買人。量取升斗骨沈在下。髏脚骨各自離解（出甘露道經）。

> Formerly, an elder's household kept a jar of ghee on a high storey, but its cover was not secure. A rat entered the jar of ghee, eating both day and night. Its body gradually grew large, and the ghee was then depleted. The rat filled the interior of the jar, resembling the colour of ghee. Someone came to buy ghee. At that time, the elder took the ghee and placed it over a fire. The rat, inside the jar, perished therein and in turn dissolved into ghee. He sold it to the buyer. When it was measured out by the sheng and dou, the bones sank to the bottom, the skull and leg bones separating from one another (taken from the Ganlu dao jing).
