Legend of Guava Fruit and It's

Crown
There was once a very thin King named Barabas who were hated by
many people due to his greediness and madness. He always put on his
crown to show the people how powerful he is.

One day while King Barabas is taking his plentiful lunch, there was a
very dirty boy who has no parents go near to him and asked for a small
alms.

Have mercy on me King Baravas, I am an orphan. It's been 3 days since


the last time I have eaten a food and I'm always walking around finding
a place to stay, pleaded the boy.

And who are you to go near me while I'm taking my meal? You should
have ask alms to the servants not from me, shouted the King.

"I already asked the servants but they refused to give me food", said the
boy while crying." Go away, go, stay out of my sight! You made me lost
my appetite," shouted the King to the poor boy.

Instead of moving away, the boy go much nearer to the King. The King
got angry and thrown a cup of soup to the boy. He was surprised when
the boy suddenly disappear and when he started to stand up to ask for
help, he suddenly fall from his chair.
The servants immediately go near the lying King, checked his pulse and
shocked to find out that he's already dead. The King was buried with no
condolences from the people.

The people choose a new King and had forgotten King Barabas.

One day, the servant of the new King panting while bringing the news to
the new King. There was a fruit tree that grew on the King Barabas
tomb. The tree has a lots of fruits.

"The tree was filled with fruits and everyone of them has a small
crown," said the new King. He picked one fruit and opened it. "Oh, the
fruit is filled with seeds. Hard and small seeds." Then the old woman
shouted, "It's as hard as the heart of King Barabas."

Another old man tasted the fruit, "It's so sour, the same sour as the
attitude and face of King Barabas!"

Days had past and nobody heeded the fruit of the tree until it became
ripe. The tree then became enjoyment of the kids, they love to eat the
ripe fruit of the tree. The changed, it became sweet and tasty and aside
from that, it has good benefits for the human body.

Since then, the fruit were called "Bayabas" (known as Guava in English
language), it was adapted from the name of the late King Barabas.
