One day for a Kalsa a young Moor, he saw the beautiful girl, intent on treating the plants, he fell in love with her, he decided he wanted it for himself, he entered the girl's house and declared his love. The young girl, struck by so much sentiment, returned the love of the young man, but when she learned that the Moor would leave her to return to her lands in the East, where a wife with her offspring took her, she waited for darkness and as soon as she got he fell asleep, cut off his head, made a dove vase, planted some basil, and put it on display outside on the balcony.
