The boy desperately craves a specific fruit or vegetable (onions in the Italian version, watermelon in the 40 Viziers). The man's wife persuades him to not allow the son to eat that food, claiming it will kill him; eventually the boy dies. An autopsy reveals that a growth of something hard, like bone, in the boy's organs was what had killed him. To commemorate the boy, the father has that bone crafted into the handle of a knife. Some time later, the knife is used to cut up the fruit the boy had craved, and the juice of that fruit causes the bone to dissolve - the father realises that eating it would have cured his son. In rage and grief, he kills his wife (the boy's mother) and then himself.
