As soon as they finished eating they went to take a walk again. Not long after they arrived in Kaodanan, in the middle of the day. "Good morning, Aunt," they said to Aponigawani. "Good morning, my sons," she replied. "What do you come here for, boys?" "What do you come here for, you say, Aunt; we come to take a walk, for we are anxious to see you," they said. "That is good.
While she was playing she saw a firefly, and she tried to hit it with her pan pipe, and Aponibalagen said "Do not strike me or you will hit my headaxe," and he became a man again. "How did you get in here?" said Aponigawani. "I came, because I saw you when I was lying in the balaua." He sat down beside her and tried to cut a betel-nut for her to chew.
Not long after, "I am anxious to chew betel-nut. What is the matter with me?" said Aponigawani, who was lying down on her bed. As soon as she got up she found an oiled betel-nut which was covered with gold beside her. "Do not cut me; I came to invite you to the balaua which Wanwanyen and Dumanau make," said the betel-nut, when she took it intending to cut it.
As a matter of fact there is quite as much variation between the accounts of the same narrator as between those gathered from different towns. I. Aponitolau. II. Aponigawani. Sister of Aponitolau and wife of Aponibalagen. III. Aponibolinayen. Wife of Aponitolau. IV. Aponibalagen. Brother of Aponibolinayen, and husband of Aponigawani; also appears as Awig. V. Kanag.
"You, my spear, when I throw you, kill at once seven and six; and you, my headaxe, cut off their heads from the left and right sides, from in back and in front." When Aponigawani had killed all of them except Gináwan and she had all their weapons, Gináwan said, "Please, my friend, let me live so that someone may go back to the town we came from."
As soon as she arrived at the river she took her headaxe and scooped up the blood which was carried by the stream and she went back to Dagápan. As soon as she reached her house she put the blood on a big plate which was inherited through nine generations, and she covered it. "I am going to the well," said Aponigawani of Natpangan.
As soon as Aponibolinayen heard the noise of the shields she shouted and Danay of Kabisilan shouted also, and those who shouted were the ladies who always staid in the house. When they passed by the spring of Natpangan Aponigawani shouted. When they passed by Pindayán, Gimbagonan shouted and the world trembled while she shouted.
He looked up and said, "Who was that," and he saw it was a betel-nut, covered with gold and oiled, and the betel-nut said, "I come to bid you attend the balaua of Pagatipánan of Kadalayapan, because Aponigawani has returned from fighting. So they celebrate." Pagbokásan sat up.
After that he truly took home Aponitolau, and Ginteban, who lived in Baygan. In a short time they arrived in Kadalayapan and Kanag's mother was there, because Aponigawani had taken her home. "Now we are married forever, Aponitolau," said Ginteban who lived in Baygan. "No, for Aponibolinayen is his wife," replied Aponigawani. "Ala! you chance it and the one who loses is not the one who is married.
When they had told their names the quid of Wanwanyen-Aponibolinayen went to the quid of Aponibalagen and Aponigawani and Dumanau laid down his quid. The quid of Dumanau went to those of Aponibolinayen and Aponitolau. "Now, Aponitolau, we know Wanwanyen-Aponibolinayen is our daughter; it is best for you now to pay the marriage price, nine times full the balaua," said Aponigawani and Aponibalagen.
