At some point, something is not allowed to speak of.
If someone speaks of, he will get a horn grown on his head.

It is like this:
Suppose someone who is a married man and he has met another girl who is very
beautiful and attractive to him. He talked to his wife about that girl. At first, his wife

protruding there like a new horn of a young big horn. Hope this will help you about
