Ligi fell sick; he wanted always to see them,
and he had a headache, so he went home to Kadalayapan. The _tikgi_
used magic so that Ligi's rice was ripe in a few days.

Five days later, Ligi went back to his rice field and the _tikgi_ went
also, and they arrived at the same time. "Tikgi, tikgi, Ligi, Ala, now
we have come to cut your rice _amasi_ which is mixed with _alomaski_
in the place of Domayasi," said the _tikgi_. "Come, _tikgi_, if you
know how to cut rice," said Ligi. Not long after the _tikgi_ went. "We
use magic so that you cut the rice. You rice cutters, you cut alone
the rice. And you tying bands, you tie alone the rice which the rice
cutters cut," said the _tikgi_. So the rice cutters and bands worked
alone and Ligi went home when he had shown them where to cut rice. He
advised the _tikgi_ to cut rice until afternoon, and they said, "Yes,
Ligi, when it is afternoon you truly come back." "Yes," said Ligi.

When it became afternoon Ligi went. As soon as he arrived at the field
the rice which they had cut was gathered--five hundred bundles. "Now,
Ligi, come and see the rice which we have cut, for we want to go back
home," said the _tikgi_. Ligi was surprised. "What did you do, you
_tikgi_? You have nearly finished cutting my rice _alomaski_ in the
place of Domayasi," he said. "'What did you do', you say, and we cut
it with our rice cutters." "Now you _tikgi_, I am ashamed to separate
the payment for each of you. You take all you want," said Ligi, so
the _tikgi_ took truly one head of rice for each one. "Now, Ligi, we
have taken all we can carry," said the _tikgi_. "All right if that is
all you want, help yourself," said Ligi, "and you come again." After
that the _tikgi_ flew and took with them one head of rice each.

After the _tikgi_ left Ligi had the headache again, so he did not
put the rice in the carabao sled, but went home in a hurry. As soon
as he arrived in his house Ligi used his power so that it again
became morning. As soon as it became day the _tikgi_ went and Ligi
went also and they arrived at the same time. "Tikgi, tikgi, Ligi,
can we cut your rice which is _amasi_ mixed with _alomaski_ in the
place of Domayasi?" "Are you here now, _tikgi_?" said Ligi. "Go and
cut the rice and see if you can cut it very soon, and after that I
will make _Sayang_, and you must come _tikgi_," said Ligi. "Yes, we
are going to cut and you do not need to stay here. You can go home
if you wish," said the _tikgi_. So
