丁亥年七月初六日，蘇州大雪。百姓皇駭，共禱諸大王之廟。大王忽附人而言曰：「如今稱老爺者，皆增一大字；其以我神為小，消不得一大字耶？」眾悚然，齊呼「大老爺」，雪立止。由此觀之，神亦喜諂，宜乎治下部者之得車多矣。
丁亥年七月初六，蘇州下了大雪。百姓驚慌害怕，一同到大王廟裡祈禱。大王忽然附在一個人身上，說：「如今凡是稱作老爺的，都添了一個『大』字；難道你們覺得我這個神小，受不起一個『大』字嗎？」大家悚然驚懼，一齊喊「大老爺」，雪立刻停了。由此看來，神也喜歡奉承，難怪給人醫治下身疾病的人，能得到那麼多車輛作為賞賜。

On the sixth day of the seventh month of the dinghai year, heavy snow fell in Suzhou. The people were terrified, and went together to pray at the temple of the Great King. Suddenly the Great King came down into one of them and spoke through him: “Nowadays everyone who is called Old Lord has had a ‘Great’ added. Do you take me for a small god, not worth a single ‘Great’?” The crowd shuddered, and cried out with one voice, “Great Old Lord!” The snow stopped at once. From this we may see that even gods love flattery. Small wonder that those who doctor the lower parts are paid in so many carriages.
