Rabbi Nachum Cohen related that he testified that he heard from Rabbi Shimon Eliyahu Schlesinger zt"l, who one day accompanied the tzaddik Rabbi Shlomke of Zvahil. Suddenly, a Jew came up to him and told him, in great tears, that he had been childless for a long time. "My wife got to the point where she instructed me to ask for a blessing from the Rebbe, and said that I had no reason to come home without a promise from the Rebbe that we would have children. I ask that the Rebbe have mercy on me, and promise me a viable seed," the Jew cried. The Rebbe thought to himself for a few minutes, and then said, "Look, you're asking me to promise you. I'm ready, but only on condition that you promise me a few things, too." Of course, the Jew gave his consent to the deal, and even before he heard what the Rebbe's demands were, he said "yes." Then the Rebbe said to him: "I heard about you that you are the head of the mikveh, and most of the Jews there are gathered around you. I want to ask you that when you go to the mikveh, don't talk." And secondly, I heard that your talk does not end with the mikveh, but even when you come to pray in the synagogue, you are not one of those who maintain complete silence... And it is considered one of the main things. If you promise me that you will stop speaking in the mikveh and in the synagogue, I promise you a male son. Of course, the Jew took it upon himself to do so, and those who met him in the aforementioned places did not know what had happened to him... They had become accustomed to seeing him talking and talking, and suddenly he was silent like a fish. But, we've already said, what don't you do in order to have viable sperm?... And so, even though he was looked upon as if he had gone insane, he continued to remain silent.
And it came to pass during the year that the Rebbe's promise was fulfilled and a male son was born to him. The Rebbe of Zvihel was honored with the sandakot, and then the happy father asked the Rebbe, "What measure for measure" is there in silence and the birth of a male son? The Rebbe answered with new words: It is brought in the name of Rabbi Pinchas of Koritz that the Holy One, blessed be He, assigns to each person the speaking in the you are measure of pleasure that he will enjoy here in this world. While are fulfilling the benefit allowance Youmikveh and in the synagogue the secular words, that God has allocated to you, and you no longer have the right to enjoy the pleasure of having a child. When you stopped talking, and then you did not enjoy it anymore, you could have been provided with the pleasure of giving birth.
