《太平广记·卷一百三十四·报应三》
羊还没等杀，就在这天夜里，韦庆植的妻子梦见了死去的女儿，穿着青色的柔软的丝裙和洁白的上衣，头发上戴着一双玉钗，是平时她所喜欢佩带的。只见女儿来到她的面前哭泣着说： 女儿活着的时候，使用家里的东西，没有跟父母说就偷着拿走了，所以遭了这样的报应。现在我变成了羊，来偿还父母的债。
夜，庆植妻梦见亡女，着青练裙白衫，头发上有一双玉钗，是平生所服者，来见母，涕泣言： 昔常用物，不语父母，坐此业报，今受羊身，来偿父母命。
The sheep couldn’t wait to be killed. On that night, Wei Qingzhi’s wife dreamed of her dead daughter, wearing a soft silk skirt and a white blouse, her hair adorned with a pair of jade hairpins, which she usually loves to wear. I saw my daughter come to her and cry and say: When my daughter was alive, I used to use things at home without telling my parents, so I took it secretly, so I suffered this kind of retribution. Now I have become a sheep to repay my parents' debts.
