There were no trees or grass on this island, but they had one bird called Baswit. They sent this bird across the waters to secure some earth, the fruit of the rattan and of trees. When it returned MElu took the earth and beat it the same as a woman beats pots until he had made the land, then he planted the seeds in it and they grew.
It is said that MElu and Saweigh now live below, Dwata and Fiuweigh in the sky. A variation of this story credits MElu and Dwata with being the creators of Fiuweigh and SEweigh.
