When Aponitolau was in the balaua, Aponibolinayen went to the kitchen and cooked the liver and she tried to eat, but she vomited again, so she threw it away, and the dogs all barked. "What is the matter? Why do the dogs bark? I think you threw away the livers." Aponibolinayen said, "I threw away what I did not eat, for I did not eat all of it."
As soon as they made him alive again, Aponitolau gave the marriage price. It was nine times full, the balaua, and when Aponibolnay raised up her elbow half of it vanished, which was in the balaua. And Aponibolinayen used her power and the balaua was full again.
She sends her companions to avenge the death and they kill many people before they learn that the hawk was mistaken. Aponitolau restores the slain to life. He agrees to fight his enemies in two months. Before he goes to battle he summons the old men and women, and has them examine a pig's liver and gall. The omens are favorable.
But before Aponibolinayen could answer, Bagbagak himself called out: "Do not hide from us, Aponitolau, for we know that you are in the corner of the house. Come out or we shall eat you." Trembling with fear, Aponitolau appeared, and when the stars asked him if he was willing to go with them he dared not refuse.
Not long after they knew that they were brother and sister Balbalaoga asked his sister why they came to Dona without clothes. She said, "Aponitolau is jealous of Don Carlos and he cut off his head, and the head jumped to my breasts, so we were frightened and ran away. That is why we came here. I did not know I had a brother who lived here."
Aponitolau gave them betel-nut and lawed vine and salt. As soon as they fed them they went back home. Not long after Aponibolinayen said to Aponitolau, "We are going to Natpangan to visit my father and mother," so they went. As soon as they arrived there Aponibolinayen told her father and mother that Aponitolau had a pasture filled with many different kinds of jars, in the place of Kabinalan.
Not long after Tabyayen cried, for the tears of Kabkabaga-an fell on him and hurt him, so Aponibolinayen went down to the yard and took them up into the house. Not long after Aponitolau said to Aponibolinayen, "We will make balaua and we will invite Kabkabaga-an. I think that is why the boy cried." Aponibolinayen said, "Yes," and they truly made Sayang.
So Dumalawi sharpened his knife and went with his father to the place where the bamboo grew, and they cut many sticks and sharpened them like spears at the end. Dumalawi wondered why they made them thus, but when they had finished, Aponitolau said: "Now, Son, you throw them at me, so that we can see which is the braver." "No, Father," answered Dumalawi. "You throw first, if you want to kill me."
This brings us to a most interesting question, namely: Are the chief actors in our tales to be considered as celestial beings and spirits, or as human heroes? We have already made note of the fact that in the first tale Aponitolau is identified with Ini-init whom, we are told, was "the sun," "the man who makes the sun," "a round stone which rolls."
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.
