BUNKACHULA (The benefits of vows and codes)
All right. Since this moment you take these four vows-(1) You will not eat any fruit about which you are ignorant. (2) Before hitting someone take seven-eight steps backward and pause for a few moments. (3) Always consider a queen to be like your mother or sister. (4) Never eat flesh of a crow.

Give all your belongings to us. Don't be clever or you all will die.
