Like the elephants and rhinos of Africa, the baobab is such a sight that its difficult to ignore. My friend shared a story about its legendary existence. According to folklore the Baobab was created by God as the most beautiful tree in the whole Afrikingdom. The thing is, he became so very proud of this status. He started to become too boastful,that it started to annoy all the other creatures around. All they can do is look and listen to his littany. They cannot even touch and get close to him. Birds aside for being inferior animals, according to him are not allowed on its branches because they might just poo on him. Butterflies, which according to him is not colorful enough and very small in size, aint allowed to his flowers coz their ugly catterpillars will just eat his precious leaves. He is totally on to himself. One day while he was annoying all the creatures with all his continous complaints about them living too close to him God got fed up, uprooted him and planted him again headfirst. Thats how the baobab got its looks today. A towering figure but still awkward in appearance. The moral of the story is....Don't annoy the birds and butterflies, they are such cry babies and they kiss ass just to have it their way. Just like some of your co workers, they might look beatiful and cute outside but they will always take the opportunity to peck or put powder in your eyes. They also have ugly children.
