Several years later , gave birth to many children Isosi so the house was becoming increasingly crowded . " Well , we 've packed the house , my wife . This house should we view again , "said Asya . " True , Kakanda . This house should we extend and enlarge again . "Replied Isosi agree .

Aniobiaroi home finally connected again so getting bigger and longer . The house was then given the name Manupapami . Several years later , the house was again crowded . Children as well as their daughter continued to have many offspring . So , Asya also took the decision to connect Aniobiroi home . The house was then given the name Yobari .

So forth , their house is still not able to accommodate the whole family . Therefore , they connect the house up to four times that of each house named Sonesyari and Ketarana . Although it has been four times jointed , their house still crowded. Finally , they decided to find a new place for some residents and build a house for every family .

That said , Asya and Isosi offspring out of the house later became the Manupapami Wettebosi rate , while the family members were out of the house into tribal Wekaburi Yobari . The family members are out of the house and Ketarana Sonesyari known as Torembi tribe who built a house on the water . Hence, the new village where they lived is called Kampung Werabur , which means village located on the water .***

Just because a dog belonging to a grandmother stepping , resident Wekaburi must accept the consequent floods washed away .
