Ten old men decided to celebrate
the New Year with a big crock of hot sake wine. Since none of
them could provide for all, they each agreed to bring one jug of
wine for the large heating bowl. On the way to his wine cellar,
each old man thought, "My wine is too valuable to share! No one
will know. It'll never show. It'll still be fine. I'll bring a
jug of water instead of the wine."
And so when
they gathered with the jugs they brought, all ten old men poured
the contents of their jugs ceremoniously into the big bowl and
then looked sheepishly at one another as they heated and poured
hot water for all.
