Many years ago the farmers of Grapetown received a letter from the king. The king had heard that Grapetown produced the best and most tasty wine around and he wrote that he would be coming to visit and sample the wine for himself.
The farmers were so excited and began to prepare for the king's arrival. They decided to put a huge barrel in the center of the town and each farmer would put one bottle of their best wine into the barrel. In this way the king would be sure to taste the finest wine of Grapetown.
The only problem was that each farmer decided to put water instead of wine thinking that if everyone else put in wine, no one would notice if there was just one bottle of water in the barrel.
When the king came and opened the special faucet, out came pure sparkly water with no trace of wine! The king was very disappointed and the people were very embarrassed.
All the people had the responsibility to put in a bottle of wine, but what were they missing?
