In the past, there was a man who had a large appetite. When he ate, he devoured ravenously.

Once he wasn't careful enough so that a fishbone got stuck in his throat. The food was blocked in his esophagus, and he could neither swallow nor vomit. So he called a physician, but the physician could do nothing. The people around looked at him in anxiety Finally, as couldn't breathe, the died of choking.

Afterwards, someone went so far as to issue a ban: Eating is forbidden as from today for the reason that no one will be choked to death if people give up eating.

从前，有个人饭量很大，吃起饭来，狼吞虎咽。

一次，他不留神，骨头哽在喉咙里，食物被堵塞在食道里，想咽咽不下，想吐吐不出。于是，他请来医生，医生也没有办法。周围的人看着他，干着急。最后，他因透不过来而活活噎死了。

事后，有人居然下了一道禁令：从今天起，天下禁止吃饭。理由是：不吃饭，就不会噎死人。
