In Malaysia, there are some of us who believe that it is not wise to simply pluck flowers or leaves from plants that are in the jungle or those by the roadside. Why? Because we may unwittingly disturb the spirits that reside there and as a result be made to pay dearly for the intrusion.
It is for this very reason that even when I had spotted a few papaya trees in a vacant land near the market, I did not dare to uproot the plants to take back to my school. Better I buy the plants or get them from my friends or students. Yeah! I am quite afraid when it comes to things that deal with the supernatural.
