A story is told that Moses was going to Mount Sinai and on his way he met a very pious person, who said to him, "Moses, speak to God of me. All my life I have been pious, I have been virtuous, I have prayed to God, and I have had nothing but troubles and misfortunes." A little later Moses met a man sitting in the street with a bottle of liquor. He called out, "Moses! Where are you going?" Moses said, "To Mount Sinai." The man called out, "To Mount Sinai? Then speak to God of me", for he was drunk.
