The coconut legend is about a young girl who was admired by the tribe she lived with.   One day the girl became very thirsty.  TheCoconuts tribe looked and searched for the drink that she wanted.  Without the drink she became very ill. Eventually, she passed away.   The tribe buried her up on a hill surrounded with flowers that day.  Days and days passed and the tribe would go and visit her.  One day some tribe members went to the hill and saw a plant on top of the hill where the girl was buried.  The whole tribe heard of the news and rushed to the hill.  They saw this strange plant.  They have never seen such a weird plant.  They saw a strange fruit drop out of the tree.  The mother of the girl who died had the first taste of this fruit.  Afterwards, she thought it was so good she named it the coconut tree.  The fruit was named the coconut because it was so sweet.  The citizens of the tribe thought that this was the giving of the girl who was buried on the hill.
