Every day the couple walked around the village, looking for people who needed their help.
One day, as usual Amaq Lembain and Inaq Lembain went to find work with their two children. After a long day of touring, Amaq Lembain finally got a job. He was asked to fix the broken door. Inaq Lembain is looking for a job. While holding his two children, he went to every house.
“Excuse me Mom, can anyone help saga?” inaq Lembain asked a woman who was winnowing rice. At the mother's house, it appears that some women are pounding rice.
The mother took a quick glance at Inaq Lembain, “I don't need your help. There's been a lot of help, ” he replied.
“Please ma'am, my two children need to eat. You don't have to pay with money, just rice. As long as my son can eat, I am happy,” said Inaq Lembain pleading.
Mother felt sorry. He finally gave Inaq Lembain a job, which was pounding rice.
Inaq Lembain advised his two children, “Do not disturb Mother yes. Mom has to work. You guys just sit here.”
His children he was sitting on a stone ceper, not far from his place. The stone is called the golog stone. Inaq Lembain started working. He worked earnestly, he did not want to disappoint the mother who had given him the job.

Inaq Lembain doesn't care. He thought his children were just looking for attention. He continued his work.
“Mother... Mother.. please... we are on top of Bu,” cried the children again. The two children continued to shout, but Inaq Lembain remained unconcerned. Over time, the voices of her children grew quieter and farther away. Inaq Lembain no longer heard the cries of his children.
“Good, they must be exhausted. Sleep well, son. I have to finish this job,” murmured in my heart.

How panicked he was when he saw the stone occupied by his two children had soared into the sky. The tip of the stone was not visible, even his children were not visible anymore. Inaq Lembain cried in confusion. He begged God to save his children.
With the help of God, the scarf that Inaq wore, Lembain was able to cut off the golog stone. With a single slash, the golog stone broke into three. But unfortunately, even though the stone has been broken, the two children Inaq Lembain has turned into two birds.
