Water into Wine (I)

Water into Wine(l) (based on an African legend) Long ago, a wise king invited everyone to his palace for a feast. Everything was to be free. He asked only one thing of his guests. Each person was to bring a bottle of white wine. A man in the village wanted to go, but there was a problem. He did not have any wine to bring. “ I can buy some wine, ” he thought. " But it would be foolish to spend money for a party where every-thing is supposed to be free. "

水冒充酒(I) 很久以前，一位英明的国王邀请大家到他的宫殿参加一场盛宴。一切都是免费的。他只要求客人们一件事。每个人都要带一瓶白葡萄酒。 村里有个人想去，但遇到了一个问题。他没有酒可带。 “我可以买些酒，”他想。“但是，在一个一切都应该免费的派对上花钱是愚蠢的。

The man thought about what he would do. He knew that there would be many people at the party. Each person would pour his wine into a big bowl, and everyone would drink from that bowl. “ Surely, no one will notice if I bring a bottle of water and pour that into the bowl, " said the man with a smile. With so much wine in the bowl, a little water will not make a difference. And so, on the day of the feast, the man arrived at the palace with his bottle of water.

那个人想了想怎么做。 他知道晚会上会有很多人。每个人都会把自己的酒倒进一个大碗里，然后每个人都用这个大碗喝酒。 “当然，如果我带一瓶水并把它倒进碗里，没有人会注意到的，”男人微笑着说。碗里有这么多酒，喝点水也没用。 于是，在宴会的那天，这个人带着一瓶水来到了宫殿。
