angdangayan
arrived. They did not wish to attend _Balaua_, but the betel-nut
had grown on their heads and they had arrived very late. As soon as
Lingiwan and Dangdangayan saw them they took them back to the town. As
soon as Pagatipanan knew that they were the _alan_ who took care of
the boys he summoned the people around the town. They danced for one
month. After that Langa-an and Ebang went to talk with the two _alan_,
and said to them, "We are surprised for we did not feel our sons come
out." The _alan_ said, "Lingiwan I picked up by the side of the road
while you were walking, that is why you did not feel him; he was a
little bloody when I picked him up, and I made him a man because I
have no child to inherit all my things. Now that you found out that he
is your son you come and take all my things in Kabinbinlan, as soon
as the _Balaua_ is finished. As soon as you will get all of them I
will fly somewhere." So when the people went home, after the _Balaua_
was finished, Lingiwan and Dangdangayan went to follow their _alan_
mothers. As soon as they arrived in the different places where the
_alan_ lived they gave them all the things which they had and they
used their power so that all the things went to their town. When
all the things arrived in Kadalayapan the people in the town were
frightened, for there was a golden house. When the things arrived
in Kaodanan the people were frightened for there were the valuable
things which Dangdangayan took with him.
After one month passed Lingiwan said to his father Pagatipanan,
"You go and make _pakalon_ for Aponibolinayen for I want to marry
her." So his father sent his wife Langa-an to Kaodanan to tell to
the father and mother of Aponibolinayen that Lingiwan wished to marry
her. So Langa-an took her hat which looked like the Salaksak [172] and
her new skirt. As soon as she dressed she started and went. When she
arrived in Kaodanan Pagbokasan was lying down in his _balaua_. "Good
morning," she said to him. Pagbokasan was a in hurry to sit up and
he said to her, "I am glad to see you, what are you coming here
for in the middle of the day." "What am I coming for you say? I am
coming to see if you want Lingiwan for a son for he wishes to marry
Aponibolinayen." Pagbokasan took her to his house and said to his wife,
"Here is cousin Langa-an who came to see us." So Ebang told him that
he should get some old _basi_ for them to drink.
As soon as they drank Ebang went to cook. As soo
