HISTORY OF BANANA

The first bananas are thought to have grown in the Malay Peninsula, Indonesia, the Philippines, and New
Guinea. In 600 BC, Buddhist scriptures, known as the Pali Canon, record that Indian traders traveling
through Malaysian territory tasted the fruit and brought the plant back with them. In 327 BC, when
Alexander the Great and his army invaded India, he found banana plants in the Valley of India. He
introduced this new invention to the Western world. By 200 AD, bananas had spread to China.
According to the Chinese historian Yang Fu, bananas only ever grew in the southern region of China. The
bananas we enjoy today are much better than real wild fruits. Bananas as we know them began to be
developed in Africa around 650 AD. There is a cross between two varieties of wild banana, Musa
Acuminata and Musa Baalbisiana. Some bananas became seedless, and were more like the bananas we
eat today from this process.

LEGEND OF TOBA LAKE

Once upon a time, there was a young man named Toba. He lived alone and had no wife. After working
on his small farm, he wanted to look for some fish for his dinner. He waited patiently. Suddenly, his fish
bait made some movement. He was sure he would get a fish for his dinner. And that was true, a pretty
big fish stuck on his bait. He took the fish and then put it on a fish basket. Then, he went home. He was
so happy to get a fish for his dinner. He imagined that his dinner tonight would be nice because the fish
was pretty big and fresh.
