The Legend of The Holy Stone Title A Long time ago, up on the Kamboi Rama mountain,
there were two villages, Kamboi Rama and Aroempu. Kamboi Rama was a residence for
Kamboi people, and Aroempu was a sago plantation owned by God Iriwonawani, who also
owned a tifa. Whenever the tifa is played, the Kamboi people would gather. Every day, the
Kamboi women would go to Aroempu to cut sago for their meals. As time passed by, the sago
trees were becoming scarcer. God Iriwonawani got really angry, “Get out of here! Don’t just
cut but sow and plant!” Because they were scared, the Kamboi people moved to the coastal
area and named themselves Randuayaivi. However, upon the mountain, there still lived a
couple of husband and wife, Irimiami and Isoray. Orientation Picture 1.2 Komboi Rama

Stone Title One day, on their way home after a hunt in the jungle, being tired, Irimiami and
Isoray decided to rest. Irimiami sat on the ground leaning on a tree. Meanwhile, Isoray was still
finding a place to sit. She saw a large stone and thought that it would be comfortable to sit on.
As she sat, all of a sudden, Isoray shouted and jumped off the stone. “Ouch! The stone is so
hot that I almost got burned!” Isoray cried. “What is it, dear?” Irimiami who almost fell asleep
immediately stood up, startled by his wife’s screams. “I don’t know what happened either, but
this stone feels really hot.” answered Isoray in panic. A short time later, in their astonishment,
smoke came out of that stone. Curious, Irimiami tried to sit on that stone. “Ouch! It’s really
hot!” he shouted. Becoming more curious, the couple decided to test the stone’s heat. “How if
we put this venison on that stone?” said Irimiami. “Let’s just try, dear,” answered Isoray.
Exquisite smells came from the burning meat. As it was ready, they ate them up. “What a
delicious piece of meat” or “This meat is so delicious,” Irimiami said happily. Unsatisfied with
what they had found, they continued testing the stone. “Let’s try to put these bamboo stems,”
said Isoray. “Let’s try these grass and leaves,” Irimiami added. “How about that timber!”
shouted Isoray. Day by day, they kept on testing the stone. One bright day, they gathered more
grasses and put them on the stone. The grasses burned quickly and spread to the surrounding
plants, the fire got bigger. They started to panic. “My husband, we’ve burned this place.” Isoray
cried in fear. “It’s a big disaster and we can’t stop. Let’s meet God Iriwonawani for help,” said
Irimiami in tremble. They ran to God Iriwonawani. “My Lord, please help us put out the fire,”
begged them. “Well, I shall help on the condition that you stop that harming act of yours,” said
the God.
