There was once a man who wanted to get married and he found two sisters. He asked the elder one to marry him and she agreed. But when he came back the next day the elder sister was not at home and he asked the younger sister to marry him instead. She said "What about my elder sister, and what would we do with her?" The elder sister heard about the proposal to the younger sister, she cooked food, put poison in it and gave it to the young man so he died. When they were taking his body to the grave they sang this song: "Baiwelu, you were killed by Berita (the name of the elder sister). But when they sang this song the dead Baiwelu heard it and became alive again."
