Dan and the Banocanut

All over the internet my name can be found alongside the name 'Banocanut' and for those curious of how my name and the name of this hybrid fruit became synonymous, here is the tale...

The Origins and The Banocanut

The being that is the Banocanut has a remarkable story of how if came to be.  Way back when, in the times of just banana's and just coconuts, there was a banana, and a coconut.  Each lived separate lives, not aware of each others existence.  The banana was a singular, plain fruit, with nothing special about it.  It did not stand out in a bunch, nor did it have any aspirations.  The coconut was a recluse vagabond, rolling from beach to beach in search of good times.

One fateful evening, during a harsh storm, the coconut sought refuge in what looked to be an abandoned cave.  Meanwhile, up on a tree, a hungry cantaloupe braved the weather, climbed a tree, and plucked the banana form his home.  The cantaloupe then dragged the kidnapped banana back to the cave where the coconut just so happened to be resting.  The malicious melon intended to devour the banana, snarled its fangs.  Witnessing the display from the shadows, the coconut came to the banana’s rescue and lunged himself at the cantaloupe.  The two skirmished, until one of the fruits laid slain.  The coconut was the victor, but did not do so without taking nearly fatal wounds.

The banana, eternally grateful vowed to restore the coconut to health and carried it into the storm.  The banana traveled the two of them for miles up a mountain, where he knew a mystic who could mend the coconuts ailments.  Upon reaching the top, as destiny beholds, the two were struck down by the awesome power of electricity that is lightening.  As the two burnt, they because fused together, and emerged as one ever powerful entity.  Thus was the birth of the Banocanut.

Since then, the Banocanut has traveled many worlds spreading tales of wonder and joy.  As the tale is told, the Banocanut is no longer in existence, but did not die.  It merely faded off into the backgrounds of history and became a powerful idea.  It laid dormant until one day a young engineer by the name of Dan stumbled into a well.  In the well, Dan called out for whoever could help him, but no one answered, no one, except the Banocanut.  The Banocanut materialized in front of the humans eyes and astounded, the Banocanut lifted Dan to safety.  Thankful, Dan opened up his mind and allowed the Banocanut to enter his brain, making itself a permanent resident.  To this day the three of them work in wonderment providing spiritual guidance to all who seek it.
