The gemora in Bava Basra (10,1) tells the story of Rav Papa who was going up the ladder it slipped and he almost fell. Said Rav Chiyah bar Madifta to Rav Papa that this happened to you maybe because a poor man came to you and you did not help him? Ask the GRA, how did he know that this is the punishment? Answered the GRA that it has the nigunim Dargo Tevir, a broken ladder.
