It says that during a time of famine, the people had to eat red dirt and ferns. A man and his family moved into the mountains and one night he told his wife to go outside in the morning and she would see "my hands become leaves, the trunk and two branches my body and legs, and the round fruit my head and the core the inside, my tongue." This was the birth of the first Breadfruit tree. The Hawaiian version of this story is similar but the god Ku, marries a Hawaiian woman and a breadfruit grew from his body after his death. Since Ku was a god and had magical powers, the tree was also considered magical.
