传说，一个年轻的男子在漫游沙漠途中看到一泉水，如水晶般清澈可口。因为水的味道非常甜美，于是他灌满了自己的皮水壶，这样就可以带一些回去，送给曾经是他老师的部落长老。
According to legend, a young man while roaming the desert came across a spring of delicious crystal-clear water.The water was so sweet, he filled his leather canteen so he could bring some back to a tribal elder who had been his teacher.
经过四天的旅程，他把水呈现给老人。老人深饮了一口，和蔼地笑了笑，并深切感激学生赠予他甜美的水。年轻人怀着愉快的心情回到了村庄。
After four-day journey he presented the water to the old man who took a deep drink, smiled warmly and thanked his student lavishly for the sweet water. The young man returned to his village with a happy heart.
随后，老师让他的另一个学生品尝水，学生吐了出来，说水太难喝了。它显然已经因为陈旧的皮革容器而变得不再新鲜。
Later, the teacher let another student taste the water. He spat it out, saying it was awful. It apparently had become stale because of the old leather container.
学生质疑他的老师：“师傅，水是臭的，你为什么要假装喜欢它？”
The student challenged his teacher: "Master, the water was foul. Why did you pretend to like it? "
老师回答说，“你只品尝到了水的味道，我却在品尝礼物的味道。水仅仅是装载善与爱的容器，而没有什么东西比善与爱更甜美的了。”
The teacher replied, "you only tasted the water. I tasted the gift. The water was simply the container for an act of loving-kindness and nothing could be sweeter.
