Once upon a time in the highlands of Ethiopia, there lived a young and inquisitive shepherd named Kaldi. Kaldi had a herd of lively and mischievous goats that roamed the hills in search of tasty treats.
One sunny day, while keeping a watchful eye on his frolicsome goats, Kaldi noticed something peculiar. His usually calm and content goats were leaping and dancing with an unusual vigor. Confused yet amused, Kaldi observed as his goats nibbled on the bright red berries from a nearby shrub..
Being a naturally curious shepherd, Kaldi couldn’t resist trying the mysterious berries himself. To his surprise, he felt an unexpected burst of energy and alertness – almost as if he could join his goats in their lively dance!.
Excited by this newfound discovery, Kaldi rushed to share his experience with the local monastery. The monks, always in search of divine inspiration during their long hours of prayer, were equally intrigued. They decided to brew a beverage from the magical berries..
As the monks sipped the flavorful concoction, they felt a renewed sense of alertness and joy. The monastery echoed with laughter and animated discussions, making it the liveliest prayer session they had ever experienced..
And so, the tale spread far and wide – not as the discovery of berries but as the day when a group of spirited goats inadvertently led a shepherd to uncover the secret of coffee. From that day forward, coffee became a source of joy and energy for people around the world, all thanks to the dancing goats of Kaldi’s hillside discovery.
