“Give someone what for”in other languages

Same idea, different pictures

English probably comes from someone asking “What for?” and getting the answer the hard way. French shows what wood it heats with, montrer de quel bois on se chauffe: some wood burns much hotter.

Polish shows someone where the crayfish spend the winter, pokazać, gdzie raki zimują. Crayfish hide deep in the mud in winter, so it's a place nobody wants to be taken.
