You have chosen to sell tainted wine
You have been practicing as a baker for fifteen years. For the
past month and a half you have secretly been selling corrupt wine, to those
who frequent the tavern. This is because you have run short on your provisions
that will not get restocked until next month.
So, you have been adding a little vinegar to the deal. You are
aware of the fact that this is a crime, nonetheless you continue committing
this horrendous crime. One of your distant cousins, and drunkard informs the
police that you have been selling this wine to your customers as good.
One early morning, because bakers get up then, the police come to your door
while your wife is still sleeping. The dogs bark and the neighbors are awakened
by the commotion, as the light of the sun and neighbors soften the harsh
lanterns that is thrust into your face. Then you are dragged, with your apron
still on, to the jail forcibly. You hang your head in shame, knowing full well
it was your wifes fault, because she was the one who suggested it in the
first place. (17)
