Historia del té, guión en inglés

Emperor Sheng Nong

Counselor: Your highness, I believe that we should stop the trip for a couple of hours to rest.

Sheng Nong: I think is a good idea, but I would like to drink some waterfirst.

Counselor: But remember your highness, we have to boil water first, do you remember the rules that your edicts gave to the empire?

Sheng Nong: Of course I remember, it is for our own sake,tell the servants to boil the water, I can wait.

Counselor: I’ll give the command then, why don’t you take a walk around?

Sheng Nong: That’s a very good idea.

(5 minutes later)

Counselor:your highness, I think that you should wait for another 10 minutes for your boiled water.

Sheng nong: Why, is there any problem?

Counselor: Yes, our servants forgot to pay attention to the water,so the leaves from the trees nearby fell into the water and it is ruined.

Sheng nong: I can’t wait anymore, why don’t we try some of the water with leaves? Let’s go there.

Counselor: As you wishyour highness.

Sheng Nong: (drinking a cup of water with leaves) But this is perfect! Look at the dark color, the taste is refreshing, the smell is good, and the tree… is a tea tree!

Counselor:I think that you have discovered a new drink, your highness.

Sheng Nong: In fact! This is tea, tell the servants to pick the leaves from the tree and take it to the palace.
