BUNKACHULA (The benefits of vows and codes)
Bunkachula told his companions -
Hearing this, Bunkachula recalled his vow
We are very hungry. We
will eat.
I will not eat
these fruits. You should also
not eat.
"Never eat unknown fruits."
No, brothers ! We will obey the chief's command. We will
not eat.

Some of them obeyed him and some ate those fruits.
They were poisonous fruits known as Kimpak. Those who ate the fruits were soon dead. In the morning when Bunkachula went to wake them up, he saw the dead ones and thought
The vow has saved me today, otherwise I would also have
died.
These fruits were poisonous. It was good that we obeyed the chief.
