There were two girls who went to take a walk and a rich man met them,
and he asked, "Where are you going, you two girls?" "We are going to
walk around the town." The rich man said, "Come and walk with me." When
they reached their house he gave them some work to do and he treated
them just the same as his daughters. The rich man was a king, and he
put the girls in a room and the princesses Mary and Bintolada were
in the other room. The king and the queen gave dresses to the girls
but they did not give them any bracelets and rings.

Not long after the two girls went to the house of the jeweler and
they ordered him to make rings and bracelets for them like those
the princesses had. As soon as they went in the house of Indayo and
Iwaginan in the town of Pindayan, they asked for water to drink. After
that Iwaginan and Indayo gave them water to drink, and they thought
that the two girls, who were dressed like men, were ladies, so they
followed them when they left and they took _basi_ for them to drink.

As soon as the princesses arrived in the jeweler's house they commanded
him to make rings and bracelets for them. As soon as the jeweler began
to make the rings and bracelets for them Iwaginan and Indayo arrived
with the _basi_. Soon it became night and they ate and drank in the
night and they became drunk, and they all slept in one room. The people
saw the beads on their arms and the jeweler awakened them and put them
in another room so they did not sleep in the same room with the others
and he said, "I thought you were princes, for you dress like princes,
but when I saw your beads I woke up, for I think those two men are
planning bad for you. Go and sleep in the other room." So they went
into the other room to sleep.

Not long after it became daylight and they returned home, and Iwaginan
and Indayo did not see them, and they were very sorry for they thought
the princes were truly girls. So they went back home, and as soon
as they arrived there they said, "We are going to make _balaua_,
to find out if those princes were truly girls." So they began to
build _balaua_. They sent messengers to go and invite people in every
town. Not long after the people whom they invited arrived, and they
saw that the princes were not there. So they commanded their spirit
aids to go to all the world and find those princes. So the spirits
became hawks and they flew
