(65) five hundred happy pills
昔有一妇，荒淫无度，欲情既盛，嫉恶其夫；每思方策，频欲残害。种种设计，不得其便。会值其夫，聘使邻国。妇密为计，造毒药丸，欲用害夫。诈语夫言：“尔今远使，虑有乏短。今我造作五百欢喜丸，用为资粮，以送与尔。尔若出国，至他境界，饥困之时，乃可取食。”
once upon a time, there was a woman who led a promiscuous life. she hated her husband when she was burning with lascivious desires. however, there was no opportunity for her to carry out any of her schemes to kill him. it so happened that her husband was sent on an official mission to a neighboring state, the woman secretly prepared some poisonous pills. to the husband she said with a faked tenderness, "now that you have been sent far away on this official mission, i have prepared for you five hundred pills both as food supplies and as something to cheer you up. you will take them when you are hungry, when you reach the border."
