[User] The reason?

[Assistant] It is important and it has caused the changes to occur?

[User] Interaction with tribes.

[Assistant] Why are you saying interaction of tribes?

[User] Because other tribes have come and they have changed our behaviour some of us did not know if bananas can be prepared and consumed as full meal so other tribes which came here had enlighten us cause we were asking ourselves why are they buying many bananas every day and we were concerned where they were taking them so we discover they were cooking them because it is a good food so even us we are now buying and cooking because it is food and when the children eat bananas they are satisfied .
