Example: Collect the branches, scrape into a dish, and mix with water to make soap for washing clothes. One can also bathe with it. Also associated is the legend of a rat who, swimming in the sea, gets hungry and goes to this vine to eat. Preparing for a delicious meal, he defecates when he sees this vine. He climbs up to get the fruits on top of the vine, but has been tricked-- they are below! Once he realizes, the branch he is on breaks and he falls into his own feces. He feels bad, as he is both hungry and dirty.
