There was an Ethiopian shepherd named Cody, who was excited to see goats one day when he was grazing. This made him very curious. After observing, he found that these goats were excited after eating a red fruit. Curious, he tasted the fruit and found it sweet and refreshing. From then on, he went there often to share the delicious fruit with the sheep. Later, he brought this strange red fruit home and distributed it to other believers to taste, and its magical effect was widely circulated.

So he collected a lot of this fruit, met someone sick or in poor spirits, boiled the fruit into juice for them to drink, and soon recovered his strength.
