and also powerful. Not long after he
went to the wood and the dogs caught three deer. He cut up the deer
and took them back home.

Not long after Aponitolau heard that Aponibolinayen was with her
brother in Dona. He went to follow her, for he intended to live with
her again. Ebang and Pagbokasan took Balbalaoga and Aponibolinayen
to Kaodanan, and they used their power so that all the things which
the _alan_ had given to Balbalaoga went to Kaodanan. Not long after
the house and the other things which the _alan_ had given went to
Kaodanan, all the _alan_ flew away. Not long after they made _balaua_
in Kaodanan, and they called all their relatives in the other towns
and all of the _alan_ who cared for Balbalaoga of Dona. After that all
the people went to attend their _balaua_. In that time Balbalaoga was
married and Aponitolau was very sorry, because he could not remarry
Aponibolinayen, and he went to the _balaua_ even though he was not
invited. As soon as the _balaua_ was over, all the people went back
home, but Balbalaoga did not go back to Dona. The _alan_ flew away
after he was married.

baby popped out. [188] "What shall we name the baby?" "Dagolayan will
be his name." The baby shook his head, so they gave him the name Kanag.

Awig went to wash his hair in the spring. When he finished washing
his hair he went home. When he reached his house he made Ayo louse
him. While Ayo was lousing him the milk from her breasts dropped
on Awig's legs. "Why, Ayo, does the milk from your breasts drop on
my legs?" he asked. He sat up and asked them many times until they
brought the baby. When they brought the baby, "We are going home to
Natpangan now, because it does not do me any good to try and hide
you." He took them home and soon he made a bamboo bench by the gate
of the town where the people passed when they went to the well, and
he placed the baby on it. Then they built _balaua_, for he wanted to
see the father of the baby. Not long after he commanded some one to go
