The king and the man Once a king caught a man and said, "If you do not kill this child, or commit sin with this woman or drink wine, I will kill you." The man thought to himself that the least harmful of the three was to drink the wine. In a drunken state, he killed the child and committed sin with that woman. From this incident we learn that alcohol is the root of all sins. It leads a person to commit many other sins.
