The Poisonous Tree

Bodhisatta was born a merchant and grew up trading with fice hundred wagons. He came to a road that led to a forest.

"Poison-trees grow in this forest. Take heed that you taste no unfamiliar leaf, flower. or fruit without first consulting me."

In the forest, there was a tree that looked like a mango tree. Both in outside appearance and the taste and smell of its fruit. If eaten, however, it was deadly poison and caused instant death. Some greedy people went ahead and still took it to be a mango tree ate the fruit. However, others decided to ask their leader before the ate. The leader told them it was a look-alike tree and should not touch its fruit. The Bodhisatta dosed with an emetic and gave them 4 sweet food to eat so they could recover. When they recovered they made plans to take the things of the others who had yet to eaten the fruit. However, to their disappointment, the others already knew it was poisonous because their leader had told them.
