​​Long time ago, durian, the king of fruits, did not taste and smell the way it does now. During those days, all the trees beneath the durian tree would feel uncomfortable when the durian season was coming. The durian would usually grow very big.

​

The other trees were anxious because they were afraid of when the durian fell down from its tree. It would eventually hit the growing trees beneath it. The sharp thorns of the durian always hurt the growing trees.

​

"Oops! I'm sorry I did it again," said durian every time. But nothing could change the leaves and the bark of the other trees that were peeled off.

​

When the durian breaks, the flesh would be dispersed and the pale yellow flesh would make the surrounding become messy. The other trees were all understanding but they could not bear with the situation.

​

One day, one of the growing tree spoke out, "the durian hurts very much." The others agreed. All the growing trees hoped the wind from the mountain would blow because its smell was fragrant it could cover the smell of durian.

​

One fine day, a creeping plant asked the durian, "Why don't you bear flowers and fruits when the wind blows from the mountain?" It added,"If you do it, your flowers and fruits will smell sweet."

​

Durian replied the creeping plant, "You are right. I will bear my flowers and fruits when the wind from the mountain blows."

​

Since then, the durian tree bears its flowers and fruits when the wind from mountain blows. The durian started to smell as fragrant as the wind from the mountain. Soon, when the wind stopped blowing, the fragrant smell had transferred itself to the durian. From that time on, the smell of the durian is redolent until today.
