arrived at Gonigonan. "Now, Ginambo of Gonigonan I am here because the month which we agreed has come." "You people who live in the same town with me prepare, because the woman who always stays in the house in Kaodanan has come to fight against us," said Ginambo. "Yes, Ginambo, we will fight against her. We told you not to go against her before, because the people of her town are related to Kaboniyan. We do not know what magic they may use," they said. "Now, what can we do, we are lost." After that they began to fight. "Ala, you my spears and headaxes kill the people from the left and the right sides, from in back and in front," said Aponibolinayen and Aponigawani. As soon as they commanded their spears and headaxes their invisible helpers flew and they went to Dangdangayan of Naglitnan. "Oh, sir, you are so happy, who are in bed in the house. The people who live in Gonigonan have nearly killed your sister, because she went to fight against them," said the helpers. After that he went to bathe and wash his hair.

I never have seen her." "What can you do? I picked you up where you had fallen when your father was jealous of your mother," [167] she said. After that he hurried to start and he went. When Dangdangayan of Naglitnan was in the road, he sat down on a high stone where the two women had set before. How terrible it is that those women who never go out of the house have gone to war, for here is where they exchanged their weapons. While he was sitting, "Good morning, my friend," said Lingiwan of Nagtangpan. "Where are you going?" said the man who sat on the high stone. "I am going anywhere," he answered, and they talked.
