Once upon a time, there was an old couple who lived in the mountains of Chiayi County. The granny had poor eyesight, so, grandpa took care of her. One day, grandpa needed to go down the mountain to run some errands. Before leaving, he told granny, “There is a sly fox in the mountains that can disguise itself as a human. Since you can't see clearly, take care not to open the door for strangers.” When grandpa left the house, the sly fox noticed immediately. He laughed gleefully and hid in the woods nearby.

Time passed and it was getting dark. Granny started to wonder why grandpa hadn't returned. Suddenly, she heard someone knocking on the door. Granny walked to the door and peered out through a crack. She saw a woolly cap and a walking stick, and she thought that grandpa had returned. She opened the door happily and said, “Come in. Let's have meat stew for dinner tonight.” When granny reached out to take the woolly cap and walking stick, She felt a pair of hairy paws! She thought to herself, “Grandpa said that the sly fox could disguise itself as a human, could this be the fox?”

Then, the granny thought of an idea. She said, “My dear, could you help me with the fireplace?” The fox roughly grabbed her hands and walked quickly toward the fireplace. Granny immediately knew that this rough person was not grandpa. Granny told the fox, “My dear, you seem wobbly and your voice sounds hoarse. Have you been drinking again?” The fox replied, “Yes! Indeed!” Granny said, “Every time you get drunk, You have to sweat it out in a rice sack. Let's enjoy our meat stew after you have finished sweating.” The fox had no choice but to climb into the rice sack. Granny tied up the rice sack quickly and said, ”You will sweat faster if I hang you over the fire.” She hung the rice sack over the fire and added a lot of firewood. The fox couldn't stand the heat and yelled, “My dear, I have finished sweating. Let me down now.” Granny said, “Sly fox! How dare you still lie to me?”

The fox knew that his plan had failed, and tried to get out of the sack. Grandpa finally got home and knocked the fox senseless with a stick. The next day, grandpa went down the mountain, sold the fox, and went home with a lot of food.

從前，在嘉義的山上住著一對老夫婦，老婆婆的眼睛不好，生活都是老公公在照顧她。這一天，老公公要下山辦事，出門前跟老婆婆說：「山上有假扮成人的狐狸，妳眼睛不好，千萬別隨便開門。」老公公一出門立刻被眼尖的狐狸看到，狐狸發出奸笑，並躲進房子旁的樹林裡。

天快黑了，老婆婆心想老公公怎麼還沒回來呢？這時，傳來一陣敲門聲，老婆婆從門縫往外看，頭戴毛線帽手拿拐杖，的確是老公公的裝扮，就高興開門並說：「快進來，晚餐吃燉肉。」這時老婆婆伸手去拿帽子和拐杖，發現摸到的手怎麼毛茸茸的，心想：「老伴說狐狸會裝成人樣，難道他是狐狸假扮的？」

老婆婆想到一個辦法，便說：「老伴，你扶我到火爐旁，好嗎？」狐狸兩手一抓便快步往火爐走，老婆婆馬上知道這個粗魯的人不是老公公。老婆婆接著說：「老伴，你走路不太穩，聲音又沙啞，是不是又喝酒了？」狐狸回答：「是呀！是呀！」這時，老婆婆說：「每次你喝醉了，都會鑽進米袋悶汗來解酒的，等你解完酒，我們就來吃燉肉。」狐狸沒辦法只好爬進米袋裡，老婆婆馬上把袋口綁起來，又說：「吊在火爐上烤一下，比較快出汗。」就把袋子吊在火爐上，又加了許多柴火，狐狸被烤得受不了，大叫：「老伴，我出了滿身汗，快放我下來。」老婆婆說：「哼！你這隻壞狐狸還想騙我。」

狐狸知道事跡敗露，便用力掙扎，這時老公公回來了，老公公一棒就把狐狸打昏在米袋裡，隔天下山把狐狸賣了，並換了許多食物回家。
