Her body is placed in a tabalang on which a rooster sits, and is set afloat on the river. Crowing of the cock causes old woman Alokotán to rescue the corpse. She places it in her magic well and the girl is again alive and beautiful. She returns to her husband as a bird; is caught by him and then resumes own form. Baby of four months hears his father tell of his youthful exploits.
As soon as they had given them all their things the alan flew away and Dinowágan and her husband took their sons and daughters to Pindayan. There was a man named Asbinan who was the son of Ayo, but the old woman Alokotán took care of him. "Ala, my grandmother Alokotán, go and engage me to Dawinisan who looks like the sunshine, for I want to marry her," said the young boy Asbinan.
As soon as he arrived at the place where Alokotán lived she sent her dog against him, and the dog ran at him, and Kanag cut off its head. "How brave you are, little boy! Where are you going?" "Where are you going, you say, I am going to Adasen to follow my father." "Your father is dead. I hope you secure him, for you have a good sign," said Alokotán. So Kanag went on in a hurry.
Not long after Ayo and Alokotán went back to Kadalayapan. When they arrived there, Asbinan asked them the result of their mission. "Did they wish me to marry their daughter Dawinisan?" His mother replied, "They said that Dawin-isan does not wish to be married yet; so we came back home."
Soon the month arrived in which they said they would build balaua, and they summoned the old woman Alokotán, to start the balaua. Not long after they sent to get bolo and lono with which to make the dakidak and talapitap. When it became afternoon the old woman Alokotán began to sing da-eng and the next night they sang da-eng again.
The little pigs which Ligi hung in the tree grunted, "Gek, gek, gek," and the old woman, Alokotán of Nagbotobotán, went to take a walk. While she was walking she stopped under the tree where the pigs hung. She heard them grunting and she looked up at them and saw that the basket contained three pigs. "What man hung those little pigs in the basket in the tree? Perhaps he does not like them.
Milk from her breasts goes to their mouths and thus proves her to be their mother. They celebrate balaua. Ayo puts one grain of rice in each of twelve jars and they are at once filled with rice. Betel-nuts summon the people to attend the ceremony. The old woman Alokotán attends and the whole story of the children's birth and change to human form comes out.
Not long after Aponitolau commanded his spirit helpers to go and get betel-nuts, to send to the relatives who lived in other places, to invite them. As soon as one of the betel-nuts arrived in Nagbotobotán it said, "Good afternoon, old woman Alokotán. I cannot stay long.
We found some young girls spinning at night, but they were not as pretty as we wished, and we talked with them until morning, for we wanted to see where they lived, but we could not wait for them to go back home." Not long after the old woman Alokotán went to cook. As soon as she finished cooking they ate. Not long after they finished eating and they agreed to go at once to Kadalayapan.
When the old woman Alokotán gave them blankets, he was the first to choose the one he wished. "Shame, Ogogibeng, why are you always the naughtiest and are always selfish." "Yes, I always want the best, so that the girls will want me," said Ogogibeng. When Alokotán gave the belts, and clouts, and coats, he always took the best, and Kanag and Dumalawi were jealous of him, and they said bad things.
