The villagers were superstitious and began to chant the various names of their Gods so that the sonar effect of this would make the scorpion leave it's hiding place. They also said among them that the sins of the woman would be burnt away in the fire of her agony. But the poet's father was a rational man to think scientifically and to put paraffin on the bitten toe and light it on the hope that in the heat so generated, the chemical properties of the poison would be lost and it would become ineffective in the blood. However when the agony seemed not to have abated he became frantic, because a wife is a wife.
