Why Noah was drunk? part 2

The story of the Midrash tells us that when Noah started to plant the vineyard the Satan came to him and said: what are you plant?

Noah said: I am planting a vineyard.

The Satan asked: what’s good in the vineyard?

Noah said: his fruits are sweet, whether it’s dry whether it’s humid. From the fruit you can make wine that does make the hearts happy.

The Satan asked him to plant the vineyard together and Noah agreed.

Then the Satan brought 4 animals which represent to Noah and us the situation of them man when he drinks. The four animals were the ewe, the lion, the monkey and the pig- all of them were slaughtered and from the blood of them the Satan watered the vineyard.

When a man drinks one glass he becomes like the ewe, humble and modest.
