The Story of the First Durian
Barom-Mai was an old and ugly king who lived in a kingdom called Calinan in the
Visayas hundreds of years ago. Although he was powerful, he was helpless when it came to
winning the love of his young bride, Madayaw-Bayho (daughter of Tageb, king of the pirates).
Barom-Mai asked his advisers to help him win his bride’s love, and Matigam (the wisest
of advisers) told him about Impit Purok, a hermit who lived in a cave in Mt. Apo.
They went to the hermit and he asked for three things: the egg of the black tabon bird,
twelve ladles of fresh milk from a white carabao without blemish, and the nectar from the flower
of the tree-of-make-believe.
The egg will be used to soften the bride’s heart; the milk, to make her kind; and, the
nectar, to make her see Barom-Mai as a young and handsome king.
The king finds the egg through the help of Pawikan, the king of the sea turtles. He luckily
gets milk from a white carabao the following breakfast, thanks to his cook. Hangin-Bai, the
nymph of the air, leads him to her sister, the wood nymph who had the magic flower in her hair.
Barom-Mai gives the three things to Impit Purok, who asked him to prepare a big feast
after Barom-Mai wins his queen back, and to invite Impit Purok as the king’s guest of honor.
Impit Purok mixes the three ingredients and instructs Barom-Mai to plant the mixture in
the royal garden. The morning after it was planted, a tree grew. It had a sweet smell and tasted
good. When Madayaw-Bayho was given the fruit, she fell in love with Barom-Mai.
The king throws a big feast but forgets to invite Impit Purok. In retaliation, Impit casts a
curse upon the fruit: The sweet smell was replaced with a foul odor while the smooth skin of the
fruit was covered with thorns, which is how the durian smells and looks today.

I. The king sought the help of the Hermit.

II. Barom-Mai planted the mixture the Hermit made, and it gres into a tree with a
sweet
smell and a fruit that tasted good.
III. Impit cursed the fruit by replacing it with foul odor because he was angry of the
king
for not being invited in the feast.
