Original sentence: A popular Indian legend holds that an Italian trader visited India during the time of Buddha and presented the Buddha with a bowl (or cup) of gelato.The Buddha is said to have been pleased with the gift and to have shown his gratitude by passing on a corpus of Buddhist teaching to the Italian trader, with the intent that the Italian would take the Buddha's wisdom back to his homeland.The historicity of this story is, however, extremely dubious, and must be viewed as folklore, especially as Buddha was alive around 500 B.The legend holds that the trader died during a storm at sea on his return voyage, thus preventing Buddhism from reaching Italy for several centuries.and gelato was not invented until about two thousand years later
