This Story is a Saga. It is taken from the book: Judgment of Paris
Taber, George M. Judgment of Paris. Simon and Schuster, November 21, 2006.
Explorers discovered a new region of the world. Leif Eriksson son of Erik the Red and his men landed on the new land from sailing ships. Having lived in the populated European Continent, they were wary of the discovered land. So, Leif Eriksson divided his men into two parties. One party stayed in camp while the other party went out exploring.
One day the exploring group returned one man short. Though it was a relief to the other men to have gotten rid of their bosses father-in-law, Tryker the short man; Leif Eriksson ordered a survey party to find him. No sooner than the survey party set out, the small dark complected foster father, Leif’s wife’s father, appeared among the blond and blue eyed German men. He was enthusiastically exclaiming the future will be at the warm hand of new wine, and that “wine of a new world” will bring news of their discovery. The men had no idea what Tryker was saying. Though patiently, they eventually learned that he had discovered wild wine grapes not far beyond the exploring party limit. The men had quite a time of settling Tryker down, but when he finely spoke coherently, they learned that he knew many stories of the making of wine, and that his knowledge of that time was forestalled. Tryker had communicated his love of wine and so the new continent was named Vineland.
