Some villagers were going to celebrate an important wine festival(酒宴)in a few days’time，So they borrowed a huge barrel from the nearest town，put it in the village square, and decided that each of them should empty a bottle of the best wine he had into it，so that there should be plenty at the feast(宴会).

The night of the feast arrived.Everybody gathered in the village square with their bowls and their glasses for the wine.The tap(塞子)on the barrel was opened，but what came out was pure water.Everyone in the village had had the same idea.
