The Origin of Coffee: the Legend of Calder

One evening, he still whistled home, but the sheep did not respond. he hurriedly looked for the sheep and found them jumping and playing not far away. Caldai looked at the abnormal behavior of the sheep and felt very surprised. After careful observation, he found that the sheep were chewing on the leaves and red fruits of an unknown plant.

After a while, the excitement of the sheep calmed down and followed Caldai home; the next day, the sheep returned to the same place and scrambled for the red fruit, and then the reaction was exactly the same as the day before yesterday. Driven by curiosity, he tried to eat the red fruit himself, and even ate the seeds inside. After eating a few of them, he couldn't help dancing, energetic and happy. After that, the red fruit became a snack for Caldai and the sheep.

The monks in the nearby monastery were surprised by Caldai's change, thinking that it was the devil's fruit that would tempt the good heart, so they threw all the fruit in the nearby campfire. Strangely, after the fruit was roasted by the fire, it emitted an exciting fragrance, and the monks could not resist the temptation of the aroma, but had a new view of it, and the monks all felt refreshed after eating the red fruit. They no longer dozed off when they prayed, but hoped to exorcise demons and keep the monastery safe forever. This is the earliest legend about coffee.
