问题　Some villagers were going to celebrate an important wine festival（酒宴）in a few days' time, so they borrowed a huge barrel from the nearest town, put it in the village square; and decided that each of them should empty a bottle of the best wine he had into it, so that there should be plenty at the feast（宴会）.　　One of the villagers thought he would be very clever. "If I pour a bottle of water in, instead of wine, no one will notice it," he said to himself, " because there will be so much excellent wine in the barrel that the water will be lost in it. "　　The night of the feast arrived. Everybody gathered in the village square with their bowls and their glasses for the wine. The tap（塞子）on the barrel was opened, but what came out was pure water. Everyone in the village had the same idea．One of the villagers poured a bottle of water into the barrel because ____.（　　）A. he tried to cheat the others B. the others put water into it too C. he thought he was cleverer than the others D. the wine in the barrel was too thick
