Script
There was oncea rich man who was very happy with his wine collection (酒藏品). There was one bottle of old wine that he kept for aspecial day. But he wouldn’t tell anyone what that day was.
A state official (官员) visited him one day. The official asked about the man’s oldwine. The man said, “That bottle of wine will not be opened for a mereofficial.”
Then a businessman visited the man. The man said again, “I will not open thatbottle. You wouldn’t know its value (价值). You’ll never taste it.”
Then a best friend of his came to eat dinner with the man. But again, the mansaid, “My wine is too valuable for a mere man.”
Even on the day his own son got married (结婚), the man said tohimself, “No, these guests will not drink my special wine.”
As the years passed, the man got older. One day, he died, as old men always do,and he was buried just like any other man.
On that day, the man’s bottle of old wine was opened. It was shared among theman’s neighbors among many other bottles. None of them knew its age or history.To them, it was just wine.
