abundenta - daca nu te constrange contextul, poti sa spui cornul abundentei, desi nu e chiar la fel
Explanation:
In Evul Mediu, in timpul sarbatorilor, in timpul serbarilor. unul din jocuri: se inalta un stalp, pin varful caruia agatau "bunatati" si pe care oamenii urcau, ca sa le ia. Nu stiu cum se zice chestia asta in romaneste, dar as traduce prin "cornul abundentei", daca nu esti legata de context. Asta e mat de cocagne. Exista o practica similara in SUA, dar nu-mi vine acum numele. Oamenii agata in copaci papusi in forma de animal, in general, umplute cu bomboane, pentru copii si apoi vin cu bete, sa sparga papusa si sa culeaga bomboanele.

Poti sa dai mai mult context ?
