THE LEGEND OF GUAVA

Long time ago, there was a king who rules a rich, prosperous island. He has all
the things a king could ever ask for, the power, the wealth and all the delicious
foods.The king's name was King Barabas.
The king was fat, rude, and his castle was starting to be filthy. He would
consume most of his time sitting and eating with his bare hands with foods
dripping on the floor, with the mocking smile for the people around him. People
would ask for his help but he refuses too. He doesn't do anything to better his
kingdom and people are starting to complain and starve.
One time, an old woman showed up on the castle while the king is eating. The
old lady was asking for food as she is starving.
"Go away! I don't have anything to give to you. Can't you see I'm eating?" said
the king.
"Please my king, " said the old woman. Anything, anything you could give me as I
am so hungry. Even a little piece of bread or fruit would do."
"Get out at once! You disgust me," and the king belittled the old beggar.
The old woman stand up as straight as she can and her tone of voice had
changed, no longer the voice of a weak, old woman and said, "I've heard so
much about you and how your kingdoms is suffering. I asked for help, and you
shoved me away. You have a lot for yourself, I only asked for a little food and you
belittled me. You are selfish. No one would love you and no one would remember
you when you are gone," and the beggar disappeared.
Few more days and the king slowly weakened and got sick. No one knows what's
wrong with him. He weakened and weakened and had lose so much weight. He
looks older than his age. Soon after that the king died. Sad as it is, no one on
cried and nobody showed up on the king's burial. He died alone.
And on where the king was buried, his people noticed a strange plant growing, a
plant they had never seen before. The plant soon grew into a tree and it bears
rounded fruits which turns yellowish when ripe.
