ssed the way and they went through the middle of the reeds, and the place where the _lawed_ vines grew, and he met the pretty girl who was his sister, who had been hiding between two leaves. "Now, pretty girl, I have found you among the _lawed_ vines, and I am going to take you," said Ibago wa Agimlang. So he took her and he put her inside of his belt. Not long after he arrived in Pindayan and he made a big party. Adolan and Iwaginan and Igowan went to attend the party. Not long after he took Inalingan out of his belt, she was a pretty girl who looked like the newly opened flower of the betel-nut tree. "Where did you get her?" "'Where did you get her?' you say. I met her in the place where there are many _lawed_ vines, and when you cut their leaves they smile," said Ibago wa Agimlang. "Now, brother, we are going to chew betel-nut, and see if we are truly relations," said Daliwagenan (Ibago wa Agimlang), and he called Adolan, Igowan, and all his brothers and sisters, and his father and mother. He gave them betel-nut to chew, and Dagilagatan and Dinowagan told their names first and Iwaginan was the next, and then Adolan and then Igowan, but he said that he was the son of the _alan_, and next was Agimlang and then the pretty girl.

"Oh, my son, Igowan and my daughter Ginalingan, I thought that I did not have any more my daughter and son and that the _alan_ had taken. We did not feed you rice," said the old woman Dinowagan. "Ala, my son, Agimlang, do not feel sorry, because you heard what your father Dagilagatan said to you, because you met your brothers and sister who are Igowan and Ginalingan," said the old woman Dinowagan. After that they danced for about nine months. After that Igowan and Adolan and Iwaginan went home and they did not let Ginalingan go back home. As soon as Igowan arrived in his town he built _balaua_ and he invited all his relatives who lived in different towns and all the _alan_ in the world. Not long after the people whom he invited arrived in the town of Igowan, and all the _alan_ went to his _Sayang_, and the _alan_ were surprised that Dagilagatan and Dinowagan knew that Igowan and G
