Moved in to her husbands home, the new wife got confused in distinguishing between the twin brothers. The younger twin, already saddened by lost love, felt guilt added on top of sadness and departed the house. After many days in the wilderness, he dropped dead, and reincarnated himself into a limestone boulder along his wandering path. The elder twin, worried about his younger brother not returning home, set out on his search, but did not find him after many days. Exhausted when he passed the limestone boulder, he dropped dead, and reincarnated himself into an areca nut palm tree by the boulder. Missing her husband for many days, the young wife set out on his search, and could not find a trace of him after many days.
