Sadto nga panahon ang alagyan kon magkadto ka sa isa ka banwa paagi lang sa dalan halin diri sa Dumarao pakadto sa Sara.
Natabu sadto nga may mga katsila nga makadto sa Sara kag pag-abot nila sa sapa wala sila insigida makatabok kay madalum ang baha sang sapa. Natingala sila kay wala sing ulan nga nagbaha, gintawag nila ang isa ka tawo nga nagapaharab sang karabao sa unhan kag ginpamangkot sang katsila kon ano ang ngalan sang lugar nga ini. Maabtik nga sumabat ang tawo nga si “Tamula” amo ang taglugar diri, namangkot pagid ang katsila sa tawo ngaa nagabaha ang sapa nga wala man sing ulan. Nagsabat ang tawo, si Tamula engkanto nga taglugar diri nga may hinuptanan nga man-og nga ginahingalanan kay “amomoklad”.
Didto sa ilaya sina nga sapa may lugar nga suhot sa idalum sang bukid nagaagi ang tubig sini nga sapa.
