王崇，字乾邕，陽夏雍丘人也。 Wang Chong, courtesy name Qianyong, was from Yongqiu in Yangxia.

崇廬於殯所，晝夜哭泣，鳩鴿羣至。 Chong built a hut at the mourning site and wept day and night. Doves and pigeons gathered in flocks.

有一小鳥，素質墨眸，形大如雀，栖於崇廬，朝夕不去。 A small bird, plain in color with black eyes, as large as a sparrow, perched on Chong's hut and did not leave from morning to evening.

至崇田畔，風雹便止，禾麥十頃，竟無損落，及過崇地，風雹如初。 When it reached Chong's field the wind and hail stopped. Ten qing of grain and wheat were wholly undamaged. Once it had passed beyond Chong's land, the hail resumed as before.

崇雖除服，仍居墓側。 Though Chong had doffed mourning garments, he still dwelt beside the tomb.

至冬中，復有烏巢於崇屋，乳養三子，毛羽成長，馴而不驚。 In mid-winter crows again nested on Chong's roof, suckling and rearing three young. When their feathers were full grown they were tame and not startled.
