A rich man and his beautiful wife were both very bad. There was a court with four walls, with one door leading to Hell. He asked his wife not to approach that door, but in his absence she did so. A hand appeared, dragged her inside after which the door closed. Husband searched for her. In the forest a huge black man told him to send a faithful servant and he would show him his wife. He was led into Hell where he saw her in a golden apartment with a golden table and beautiful food. It was explained to him that everything was burning red hot. No one could save her as she had no son to say Kaddish and Baruh Hu, and she had moreover committed every sin. She gave the servant her ring, which he brought to the husband who was deepty moved, repented and was saved.
