Once upon a time, there lived a rich man. He had a servant. He and the servant loved wine and good food very much. Each time, when the rich man left his home, the servant would drink the wine and eat up all the nice food in the house. The rich man knew what his servant did. He wanted to punish him, but he didn't get any proof(证据).

One morning, when he left home, he said to the servant, "Here are two bottles of poison(毒药) and some nice food in the house. You must take care." With these words, he went out.
