eople. So Ligi thought that Dagolayan had
many companions. As soon as they arrived where Ligi was waiting for
them, "Where did you get the other boy who is with you?" he said to
Dagolayan. He answered that he met him where they were swimming, and
that they agreed to go to fight together. Ligi wanted to kill him, and
he said, "I want to kill." "No, do not kill him," said Dagolayan. Not
long after they went. As soon as they arrived where there were no
houses, Kanag used his power so that it rained very hard and they
had nothing to cook. Not long after it rained and Ligi and Dagolayan
did not cook anything, for everything was damp. The spirit helpers
of Aponibolinayen always fed Kanag, and Ligi and Dagolayan ate with
him. "What is the matter of this boy who is the son of _alan_? He
has something to eat. I do not believe that his mother _alan_ knows
how to prepare good food," said Ligi, angrily.
After they had finished eating they went, and after a while they

heads which Ligi and Dagolayan had taken were those of an old man and
old woman. Dagolayan said to him, "What did you say when you killed
that pretty girl? I think I heard you say, 'Your father does not like
you.' I did not hear very well so I ask for sure." "'The son of _alan_
of Matawitawen kills the pretty girl is what I said.'" "No, that is
not what you said. You said you were the son of a man who lives in
Kadalayapan." Not long after, when Dagolayan could not make Kanag
repeat what he had said, they all went back to Kadalayapan where
Ligi lived.
When they arrived in Kadalayapan they played the _gansa_ and danced,
and Aponibolinayen heard the sound of the _gansa_, and she was anxious
to go, but her spirit companion would not let her go. They saw that
the _lawed_ vine was green. Not long afte
