"There is the wakwak tree, full of talking heads, which appears in a romance of Alexander the Great and is illustrated in a Chinese encyclopaedia with the caption: 'There are trees in the mountains on whose branches grow flowers which are in the shape of men's heads. They do not speak but merely laugh when questioned. If they laugh too often, they fall to the ground.'"

-- Francis Wood, "The Silk Road: Two Thousand Years in the Heart of Asia"
