It was a depressing love story from a long time ago.
There was a great war in a certain country, and a brave man had to leave his wife behind to defend his homeland.
Every day, the wife would sit at the peak of a mountain crying, and praying for the safe return of her beloved husband.
Day after day she cried, till her tears ran dry.
She started to cry blood in place of tears, and those drops of blood became red-colored seeds as they fell onto the ground.
They grew into huge trees full of fruits with the same beautiful red seeds.
The seeds were then known as the "remembrance beans", as they represent the wife reminiscing her time with her husband and her longing for him to return.
