Responsa Maharsham 3:161
(Rabbi Shalom Mordechai Shvadron, 1835-1911, Ukraine)
For five years, a couple had no child. And then, came to them a man who was his relative and slept in their house. Then his wife got pregnant and had a child. Why does the child look more like the relative than the husband?

Moed Katan 17a
A wasp came and stung the ostracized scholar on his penis and he died. Because he was a great Torah scholar, they took him into the caves in which the pious are interred in order to bury him there, but the caves did not accept him. A snake stood at the entrance of the caves and did not let them pass. They then took him into the caves of the judges, and they accepted him.
