ed rice on the _talapitap_;
the second night, two; and so on). When you finish the time you will
know how to make _dawak_ and to call all the spirits, and you will
teach the people how to do _dawak_."

When she finished the _dawak_, the spirit sent her to wash in the river
as a sign that she had finished _Sayang_. He told her to get a dog and
a cock. She went to the river and she tied the cock and the dog by the
water, and while she was gone, the dog killed the cock. Dayapan wept,
but for a long time the spirit did not come. When Kaboniyan came again,
he said, "If the dog had not killed the cock, no person would die,
but this is a sign and now somebody will die and some will be well."

Dayapan went home and when she arrived there she began to learn to
make _dawak_, and she called all people to hear her and she told all
she had seen and heard. Then the people believed her very much. When
somebody was sick, they called Dayapan to see them and to show them
how to make them well. So Dayapan taught them all kinds of _dawak_
which the spirit had told her because before when Dayapan was sick,
no one knew the _dawak_. [336]

Many years ago there was a woman whose name was Bagutayka. She had had
only one daughter whose name was Bagan. A boy who lived in Lantagan
wished to marry Bagan, but she did not wish to marry him because she
had no vagina, and she was ashamed. Her mother said, "Take this little
pot with pictures on the outside, and this sucker of banana and go
to the roadside where people are passing. When people are passing,
you will make them sick in their knees or feet." Then poor Bagan went
by the roadside. In a short time a man passed by her; after that he
was sick in his knees and did not walk, he only lived in his house,
and could not move his hands or feet. His parents were troubled to
find medicine for him, for none they found did him good. They used all
the medicine that they knew. Then Bagan went to see him in his house
and told him to make _bawi_. [337] The sick man said to her, "How
do we make _bawi_, for we have never heard about that?" Bagan said,
"Bring me a white cloth, a basket of rice, some thread, a betel-nut,
coconut, a rooster, and _toknang_." [338] They brought all of these,
and Bagan took them. Then they built a _bawi_ in the garden and planted
the sucker by it. They broke the coconut shell, killed the rooster,
and took his feathers to put in the coconut husk, and they broke the
coconut
