🎬 Pratyay’s Book Bias (Instagram Reel)

Length: Short (Under 1 minute)

Complexity: Very Simple

(Script Start)

(Video opens with you holding a cup of coffee, looking at it thoughtfully.)

HOOK

You: You drink this every single day. But do you know the wild legend of how it was discovered?

You: It all starts with dancing goats.

(On-screen text: 🐐 + 💃 = ☕?)

CORE

You: The story goes that centuries ago in Ethiopia, a goat-herd named Kaldi saw his goats eating strange red berries from a tree.

(Visual Cue: Show an image of bright red coffee cherries on a branch.)

You: After they ate them, they were filled with so much energy they started "dancing." Kaldi got curious, tried the berries himself, and... the world's first caffeine buzz was born.

(On-screen text: Ethiopia -> 9th Century)

You: From Ethiopia, these "magical" beans traveled to the Arabian Peninsula. In 15th-century Yemen, they started roasting and brewing them into a drink.

You: This is where the coffee house was born—places for people to talk, play chess, and share ideas, all powered by this new drink.

(On-screen text: Yemen -> 15th Century)

You: When it finally reached Europe in the 1600s, it was so controversial that some leaders called it the "bitter invention of Satan."

(On-screen text: "Devil's Drink" 😈)

You: But the trend was unstoppable.
