As soon as they finished dancing the people who went to attend Balaua with them said, "Now we going to put the heads around the town and then go for it is nearly one month now and our families are lonesome for us." So they went to put the heads on the sticks around the town. At that time the two alan who had picked up Lingiwan and Dangdangáyan arrived.
When it became morning Awig commanded someone to go and get the betel-nut which is covered with gold. As soon as they arrived they oiled the betel-nuts. "Ala, all you betel-nuts, you go to invite the people from the other towns who are relatives so that they will come to make balaua with us.
They did not wish to go to make balaua. The betel-nuts who went to invite them said, "If you do not wish to come, I will grow on your knee." Pagatipánan said, "You grow," and the betel-nut grew on his knee, and it became high and he was in pain. "Ala! you get off my knee, and you go on my pig," he said, and the betel-nut went truly on his pig and it squealed.
Not long after they arrived at the place of the gathering, and Aponibolinayen and Ini-init went to make alawig, and when they had finished, they brought them up to the town. Pagatipánan said, "I did not think that the stone which rolled could change when he came to make balaua with us."
So he gave her betel-nut to chew and they told their names, and when they had told their names their quids showed that it was good for them to marry. The father and mother of Asigowan were Gagelagatan and Dinowágan, but she lived with the alan. Her father and mother did not know her until she made balaua and Asbinan did not know her until the balaua, then he married her at once.
Not long after they commanded to pound rice, and Aponibolinayen used magic so that many women went to pound with them. And Ini-init practiced magic so that they had many neighbors, and many who went to pound rice with them. Soon they commanded to get the timbers for the balaua, and they prepared everything which they needed.
As soon as they arrived at the spring of Kadalayapan she used her power so that all the people in the town and all who were dipping water at the well went to sleep; so all the people who were pounding rice and working slept truly. Not long after they went up to the town. When they were approaching the balaua of Ligi they saw him there asleep.
As soon as it arrived up above it said, "Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen of Kadalayapan want you to attend their balaua. That is why I came here." Kabkabaga-an said, "Yes, I will follow you. You go first." When it became afternoon all the people from the other towns had arrived in Kadalayapan.
As soon as they built their balaua they sent someone to go and secure betel-nuts which were covered with gold. Not long after the betel-nuts which were covered with gold arrived and the old woman Langa-an oiled them, and she used magic so that the betel-nuts went to invite all their relatives, who lived in other towns, to attend balaua with them.
So they used magic so that their house in Kadalayapan went to Nagbotobotán, and the people were surprised at the noise made by the house when it went to Nagbotobotán. They saw that it was a big house all made of gold, and they placed it near to the house of Alokotán. Not long after Wadagan made balaua, because he could not find his family in their golden house.
