Rh "How queer to see lemons growing on the Pumelo Tree!" they said.

And the lemons were no longer bitter and sour, but wore so pleasant to taste and so fair to look upon that many were saved for the coming feast day.

The Lemon Tree saw that her children were honored, and she was very happy.

Her heart was grateful to the Pumelo Tree who had raised her children to honored places.

And from that time the Lemon Tree and the Pumelo both had the same body and the same mind, the same happiness and the same friends, through many generations forever.

(Meaning): When you help another you make two people happy.
