Coconut Palm trees are known as the ‘tree of life’ and have been around for thousands of years. The story behind the first coconut tree is an old Malaysian myth. It goes… One day a young man in the village went to see the old wise man that lived in a cave by the sea. The young man explained to the old wise man how he wanted to do good things with his life and for others. The old wise man nodded his head, handed the young man a box, and told him not to open the it until he got home. As the young man left the cave, he was very keen to discover what was inside and opened the box. Immediately after opening the box the young man turned into a coconut tree. In the end, the young man was able to accomplish all that we wished. As the tree of life, he was able to do good things for others.
