fellow I went to all parts of the world, to every
town where the tattooed Igorot live, who were all enemies.

"Mother Dinowagan put the rice in the pot which looks like the
rooster's egg, [290] so that I eat rice, for I go to fight the tattooed
Igorots," said Ibago wa Agimlang who was four months old. "Do not
go my son Agimlang your feet are too young and your hands look like
needles they are so small. You just came from my womb." "Oh, mother,
Dinowagan, do not detain me for it will make me heavy for fighting,"
said Agimlang. As soon as he finished eating, "Mother Dinowagan
and father Dagilagatan let me start, and give me the little headaxe
and spear and also a shield, for I am going to walk on the mountain
Daolawan." Not long after he started. As soon as he arrived on top

Not long after he arrived at the town where the tattooed Igorot lived,
and they were so many they looked like locusts. He used his power,
"You, my headaxe and my spear, go and fight with the tattooed Igorot,
and kill all of them." As soon as the tattooed Igorot heard what he
said, they said, "Why, do you brave baby come to fight with us for,
you are very young? Now you cannot return to your town, for we inherit

you intended to kill me I would have killed all of you, even though I
am a baby just from my mother's womb," said Agimlang. So the bravest
