heless to play with the boys.

Not long after he reached the _balaua_, and he met a little boy
playing with _lipi_ nuts, and they played together. "Will you
come with me to the place where my mother is while I ask for my
tobacco?" said Dagolayan. "If that is what you say we will go,"
said Kanag. So they went to the place where Dolimaman was and the
milk from her breasts went to Kanag's mouth. "Here is my son now,"
said Dolimaman who was lying down and she sat up. "What is the matter
of this woman, she called me her son and she is not my mother," said
Kanag. "Where is your mother then?" said Dolimaman. "My mother is
in Nagbotobotan and her name is Alokotan," said the boy. "Ala, let
us go. Where is Nagbotobotan? Guide me," said Dolimaman. As soon as
they arrived, she said, "Good morning, my Aunt." "Good morning also,"

and the people were surprised at the noise made by the house when
it went to Nagbotobotan. They saw that it was a big house all made
of gold, and they placed it near to the house of Alokotan. Not long
after Wadagan made _balaua_, because he could not find his family in
their golden house.

Wadagan got out of the _balaua_ and said, "I am going to take a
walk and see if I can meet Dolimaman and our house which is made of
gold." Not long after he went to walk, and he did not meet any of
them. "I am going to go to Nagbotobotan and see if the new raft went
there." So Wadagan went and not long after, while he was walking,
he reached the edge of the town of Nagbotobotan, and he saw the
golden house, and he went to it directly, and he said, "Perhaps that
was our house, for there was no other to compare w
