Midrash for Chullin 187:42

Our Rabbis were taught in a Baraitha: A man should not sell to his neighbor shoes made from the hide of a beast that has died of disease, instead of the hide of a beast that had been slaughtered, for two reasons; first, because he deceives him [for the skin of a beast that dies of itself is not as durable as the hide of a slaughtered animal]; secondly, because there is danger [for the beast that died of itself might have been stung by a serpent, and the poison remaining in the leather might prove fatal to the wearer of the shoes made of that leather]. A man should not send his neighbor a barrel of wine with oil floating upon its surface; for it happened once that a man did so, and the recipient went and invited his friends to a feast, in the preparation [of which oil was to form a chief ingredient]; but [when the guests assembled] it was found that the cask contained wine, and not oil; and [because the host had nothing else in preparation for the guests], he went and committed suicide. Neither should guests give anything from what is set before them to the son or daughter of their host, unless the host himself give them permission to do so; for it once happened during the time of scarcity that a man invited three of his friends to dine, and he had nothing but three eggs to place before them. Meanwhile [as the guests were seated at the table] the son of the host came into the room, and first one of the guests gave him his share and then the second and the third one gave him their shares. Shortly afterward the host himself came in, and when he saw that the child eats one and holds the other two in his hand, he knocked him down to the ground, so that he died instantly. The mother, seeing this, went to the roof and threw herself down, so that she died. The father himself also went and threw himself headlong from the housetop. R. Eliezer b. Jacob then remarked: "There perished in this affair three souls of Israel." Indeed it was so! What does he add to it? This means that the entire story was related by R. Eliezer b. Jacob.
