Master Cao liked shooting birds and catching animals very much and often went out for a day at a time. His uncle felt that Cao was going too far. So he often told on Cao to Cao's father, Song. Cao thought that this won't be good for him, so he thought of a plan. One day when he met his uncle, he suddenly fell down to the ground with blank eyes and lopsided mouth. His uncle asked Cao what was the problem, Cao answered, "Got a stroke." His uncle immediately ran to tell Cao's father, Song. Song was very afraid and called for Cao to come. Cao came without anything wrong. Song asked him, "Your uncle told me you got a stroke, how come you are all right already?" Cao answered, "There isn't anything wrong with me at all. It's only because my uncle hated me that he wanted me to have a stroke." So Song started to think that his brother was always deceiving him. From then on, Song never believed what Cao's uncle told him again, and Cao got more and more spoiled.
太祖少好飞鹰走狗，游荡无度，其叔父数言之于嵩。太祖患之，后逢叔父于路，乃阳败面喎口；叔父怪而问其故，太祖曰：“卒中恶风。”叔父以告嵩。嵩惊愕，呼太祖，太祖口貌如故。嵩问曰：“叔父言汝中风，已差乎？”太祖曰：“初不中风，但失爱于叔父，故见罔耳。”嵩乃疑焉。自后叔父有所告，嵩终不复信，太祖于是益得肆意矣。
