The history, chemical properties, preparation methods, metabolic pathways and physiological functions of caffeine are introduced in a fantastic way. The working mechanism of caffeine in the human body is compiled in an interesting fairy tale. In this story, a boy fought against caffeine goddess and made her angry. She seduced the boy to extract and sell caffeine as drugs. But by the time of the deal, the goddess was softened by his apology and stopped the vengeance. However, the fact is that the teenager sold the caffeine as medicine rather than narcotics. The vengeance plan of the goddess had not been successfully implemented and the story had a happy ending.
