Why does the Belted Goat dance?
The favorite bedtime story about the origin of coffee goes like
this: Once upon a time in the land of Arabia Felix (or in Ethiopia,
if an Ethiopian is telling the story), there lived a goat herder
named Kaldi. Kaldi was a sober, responsible goat herder whose goats
were also sober, if not responsible. One night, Kaldi's goats failed
to come home, and in the morning he found them dancing with
abandoned glee near a shiny, dark-leafed shrub with red berries.
Kaldi soon determined that it was the red berries on the shiny,
dark-leafed shrub that caused the goats' eccentric behavior, and
soon he was dancing too.
Finally, a learned imam from a local monastery came by, sleepily, no
doubt, on his way to prayer. He saw the goats dancing, Kaldi
dancing, and the shiny, dark-leafed shrub with the red berries.
Being of a more systematic turn of mind than the goats or Kaldi, the
learned imam subjected the red berries to various experimental
examinations, one of which involved parching and boiling. Soon,
neither the imam nor his fellows fell asleep at prayers, and the use
of coffee spread from monastery to monastery, throughout Arabia
Felix (or Ethiopia), and from there to the rest of the world.
