He rushed the flock of sheep over several mountains, and suddenly, several lambs ran wildly and excitedly. For the next few days, this abnormity phenomenon occurred whenever the flock of sheep arrive this place. And his intense curiosity drove him to find the reason.

A few days later, he finally found out that whenever sheep ate the red berries on the shrubs tree, they would be excited to jump. What will happen after the people has eaten? He said he decided to taste this red berries by himself, and after eating a few red berries, he became excited soon. He looks like discovering the New World, and put some red berries in his pocket every day. He recommends this red berries to everyone and let them chew to eat, and inform them this berries could refresh themselves.

He also introduced this red berries to monks of nearby monasteries. After he had tasted it, the berries taste is bitter though it feels very spirited. And he soaked the berries in the water so that dilute the bitterness. After soaking the red berries, the water less bitter and there is a special fragrance comes out.
