International Coffee Day falls on October I every year. This holiday is used to promote（推广） and celebrate coffee as a popular drink. Do you like coffee? And do you know who invented it? There are many interesting stories about the origins of coffee. One of them is about the Ethiopian goat herder（牧羊人） Kaldi. One day, his goats ate berries from a tree. The man noticed that the animals became very active as a result. After Kaldi told the local monks（僧侣） about this, the monks made a drink from the berries. The drink helped them stay up late for prayers（祈祷）. They then kept drinking it. That berry tree later became known as the coffee tree.
Another story tells of a man named Omar from an ancient city. He was once driven into a desert. The man was very hungry and chewed（咀嚼） some berries from a tree. The berries, however, were too bitter. Omar tried to roast（烘烤） the berries to make them taste better, but in the end they became too hard to chew. So he decided to boil them to make the berries soft. The man ended up creating a brown drink from them. After drinking it, he felt spirited. When Omar later traveled to Mocha（摩卡）, he brought this "magical drink" to the city.
Which story do you believe? But anyway, the stories of coffee all ended the same way: The world has had this nice drink to enjoy! It seems that many people all over the world drink coffee. Coffee lovers say that coffee is good for both health and business. What's your idea?
