A long time ago, there's a king who ruled a rich, prosperous island. He had all the things a
king could ever ask for: the power, the wealth, and all the delicious foods one could only
imagine.The king's name was King Barabas.

King Barabas is a rude king and overweight, indulging himself to all the foods available,
hesitant to share to anyone. And his castle is starting to become filthy. He would spend most of
his time sitting and eating with his bare hands. As he eats, he drips food on the floor and smile
mockingly at the people around him, specially his servants.

People in the kingdom would approach with requests for his help, but he would always
refuse. As he neglected his kingdom, people started to complain and starve. After some time, an
old hunched-back woman showed up at the castle begging for food while the king was eating.
The old lady asked for food as she was starving. "Go away! I don't have anything to give. Can't
you see I'm eating?" said the king. "Please, my king," begged the old woman. "I'm asking for
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," the king belittled the old beggar.

The old woman stood up straight, casting aside her stooped posture. "I've heard much about
you and how your kingdom is suffering." The tone of her voice had changed. It was no longer the
voice of a weak, old woman. "I asked for help, and you shoved me away. You have a lot for
yourself, but when I only asked for a little food, you belittled me. You are selfish. No one loves
you and no one will remember you when you are gone!" And the beggar disappeared.

After a few more days, the king slowly weakened and became sick. No one knows what's
wrong with him. He got weaker and weaker and lost much weight. He looked older than his age.
Soon after that, the king died. As unfortunate and unexpected as it was, no one cried and
nobody showed up at the king's burial. He died alone. And 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, which bore rounded fruits that turned yellowish when ripe.

People also noticed that the fruit seemed to have a crown as it develops, which reminded
them of their selfish, arrogant king. The flesh of the fruit tasted a bit sour, just like the sour
personality of the king towards them.

The people learned to eat the fruit, which helped them with starvation. And because the tree
was from the grave of their King Barabas and it has crown just like their king, they named the
tree after him: barabas, which in time they called bayabas.

The fruit is still called, as to this day, bayabas.
