Once upon a time, there was a king name Amongkut. Even though he was powerful, he was not handsome. He had a beautiful wife named Dayang. However, Dayang did not love him. One day, he ordered Soreng, a wise hermit, to make his wife fall in love with him. In return, Soreng asked Amongkut to invite him as a guest of honour at a grand party. Amongkut promised. Soreng asked for the egg of the Tabon bird, twelve ladle of milk from a pure white water buffalo and the flower from the tree of Make-Believe. He added all the three things together to make a seed. Amongkut planted the seed in the royal garden. The next day, a beautiful tree grew. Its fruit had smooth skin and sweet smell. Dayang fell in love with Amongkut once she ate the fruit. Amongkut held a party but did not invite Soreng. He broke his promise. So, Soreng cursed the fruit. He made it thorny and smelly. That is how the durian became smelly.
