Where the leaf-stems of the Traveller's Palm join the tree their sheaths form a sort of cup, which collects rainwater. Think of cupping your hands together to form a little basin from which you can drink collected water.

Any plant which forms similar shapes as part of its anatomy will collect water which can be drunk in an emergency by cutting into the 'bowl' formation or by using a hollow grass or other stem as a drinking straw (using stems such as hay in this manner is where we get the word 'straw' in this context), but it is very important to be certain the plant you are drinking from is not poisonous to humans.

Because Jesus walked on water and Jesus' donkey walked on coats, but palm leaves too. That's why. I think I have read The Bible or been to church to much for a child.
