hich looked like the moon as an engagement present,
and they agreed on a day for _pakalon_. [149] Aponibalagen said,
"Tomorrow will be the day for _pakalon_."

Dinawagan went home. "Did they accept our golden cup which looks
like the moon, mother?" asked Gawigawen. "Yes. Tomorrow will be the
_pakalon_," said the mother. Not long after she said, "All you people
who live in the same town with us, prepare to go to the _pakalon_ of
Gawigawen in Natpangan tomorrow afternoon." The people agreed and in
the morning they truly started and they went. "You, my jar _bilibili_
which always salutes the visitors, go first; and you my jar _ginlasan_
follow, and you _malayo_ and _tadogan_ and you _gumtan_." [150] So
they went first to Natpangan, and Gawigawen and the people followed
them, and also eighteen young girls who were Gawigawen's concubines
went also.

Not long after they arrived in Natpangan and Iwaginan and the other
people went to attend the _pakalon_, and also many people from the
other towns. When all whom they had invited arrived they agreed how

"Ala, give me the skirt and I will dance next." "Do not say that
Gimbagonan, for it is shameful for us," he answered her. Not long
after he gave the cloth to Dakandokan of Pakapsowan. She danced with
Algaba of Dagala. Not long after they finished dancing and Iwaginan
made Aponibolinayen and Balogaygayan dance. He often went to fight in
the enemies towns. Not long after Aponibolinayen went down from the
house and the sunshine vanished when she appeared. She danced with
Balogaygayan and when she moved her feet the water from the river
went up again into the town and the fish bit at her heels as they did
before. After they stopped Iwaginan made his wife Gimbagonan dance and
she was happy when she danced with Aponibalagen. When they danced the
big jars around Gimbagonan's neck made
