Water into Wine(II)

Water into Wine(II) (based on an African legend) The man entered the palace and went to the table where the wine bowl was sitting. He slowly poured his water into the bowl. He watched as the other guests arrived, each adding the contents of their bottles to the bowl and greeting the king with a smile. Soon, it was time for the meal to begin. The king asked everyone to fill their glasses with wine from the bowl.

The guests did as they were told and took a sip of the wine. To everyone's surprise, the wine tasted like water. The king discovered that everyone had brought water in their wine bottles! lf only one person had added water to the wine, no one would have noticed. But, as it turned out, everyone thought that they would be able to cheat the king this way. The king sent all of his guests home, disappointed that his people had tried to pull such a dishonest trick on him.
