<｜begin▁of▁sentence｜>### Instruction:
As a circus performer, you often manage various equipment and props. Imagine that you have a set of rings and you're curious about how many of them are connected in a specific way. In this case, you may want to count the number of times the first ring in the set is connected to another ring. This could help you ensure that your routine is safe and well-prepared.

In the context of networkx, you might be working with a graph that represents the connections between the rings. You would use the NetworkX Python library, and its methods for graph analysis, to determine the number of multiple connections (edges) between the first and another ring.
### Response:
import igraph as ig

# Create a graph with multiple edges
g = ig.Graph([(0, 1), (0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 3)])

# Select an edge
edge = g.es[0]

# Count the number of multiple edges
multiple_edges_count = edge.count_multiple()
print('Number of multiple edges:', multiple_edges_count)
