葡萄酒折射的人性
葡萄酒折射的人性——勇敢、狡猾和风流的由来
有一个国王,想增加酒的浓度,于是向全国发出告示:谁能满足这个心愿,便奖他够用一辈子的财产。
有个叫麦力吾尼的人闻讯后,想试一试,就跑到王宫向国王请求三个月的时间准备。国王同意给他酿酒所需物品,并要求必须在限期内搞好,否则将他送上断头台!麦力吾尼立刻回家投入工作。但是,两个月的时间过去了,仍一无所获。他心里想:“我要死了。”在死亡的恐惧下,他天天不吃饭,哭个不停。有一天,一个打扮成商人模样的男人来到他眼前,这个人长着绿眼睛、扁鼻子、肉脸蛋、矮个子,大约五十岁,不长胡子。他问道:“喂,麦力吾尼,你为什么在哭?”麦力吾尼便将原因告诉了这个男人。
“别哭了,这很容易,你到国王那里要一只老虎、一只狐狸、一只红公鸡,然后,将他们杀死,用血与葡萄水搅拌发酵,这样,你就会取得成功。”说完,这个人转眼就消失了,原来他就是世间万恶之神撒旦。
麦力吾尼按撒旦的指示酿酒,然后自己先品尝,饮后发生了一种令人难以想象的美妙感觉。他准备了一桶酒到王宫献给国王。国王请各位官员到王宫做客。宴会上,大家饮用了麦力吾尼新酿的酒,不久,就表现得千姿百态,气氛活跃。往常被吃的光光的食品,今日却剩下大半。有的人喝酒后胆大妄为,向人寻衅复仇;有的人变得越来越狡猾多谋;有的人喝完酒后变得风流放肆。
原来,胆小鬼变成勇敢者,是因为酒中有老虎血;有的人饮酒后变得狡猾多谋,是因为酒中有狐狸血;有的人饮酒后情欲难抑,风流倜傥,是因为酒中有红公鸡血。
The human nature reflected in wine -- the origin of courage, cunning and womanliness there was a king who wanted to increase the strength of his wine, so he sent out a notice to the whole country: Whoever could fulfill this wish would be rewarded with a fortune that would last him a lifetime. Hearing this, a man named Malifuni wanted to give it a try, so he went to the palace and asked the king for three months to prepare. The King agreed to give him the goods he needed to brew wine, and demanded that it be done within the time limit, or else he would be guillotined! Mclaughlin immediately went home and got to work. But two months later, nothing. He thought to himself, “I'm going to die.” In fear of death, he refused to eat and cried all day. One day a man dressed as a businessman came to him. He had green eyes, a flat nose, a Chubby face, a short man, about fifty years old, and no beard. “Well,” he asked, “Why are you crying, Malifuni?” And Malifuni told the man why. “Don't cry. It's very easy. You go to the king and ask for a tiger, a fox, a red rooster. Then, you kill them and ferment them with blood and grape water. Then, you will achieve success.” With that, the man disappeared in an instant, so He is Satan, the God of all evil. Malifuni brewed the wine according to Satan's instructions, then tasted it for himself, and after drinking it, an incredible feeling occurred. He prepared a cask of wine for the king at the palace. The King invited the officials to the palace. At the banquet, we drank the new wine made by Malifuni, before long, it was a variety of behavior, the atmosphere is lively. Most of the food that is usually eaten is left over today. Some people drink after bold and aggressive, to seek revenge on others; some people become more cunning and resourceful; some people drink after becoming dissolute. Originally, cowards become brave, because there is tiger blood in the wine; some people become cunning after drinking, because there is Fox blood in the wine; some people drink lustful, handsome, because there is red rooster blood in the wine.
