She told the betel-nuts that if any did not wish to attend balaua with them, to grow on their knees. As soon as she commanded them they went, and the betel-nut which went to Kaodanan arrived, "Good morning," it said to the old man, Pagbokásan who was lying in the balaua.
On each canoe with paddles were over thirty men, and on the bridge adjoining the canoes were armed men and a large supply of sago and betel-nuts. They were going to Lese to purchase uros.

Dandawila had to be content with a stem of young betel-nuts, and Bakoki with two fish baskets filled with pounded rice, also a spear.

"Ala, let us build balaua anyway." Not long after they commanded people to pound rice, and as soon as Wanwanyen was ready she commanded someone to go and secure the betel-nuts which were covered with gold. As soon as they arrived they oiled them. When it became evening they made Libon. The next morning they sent the betel-nuts to invite their relatives. So they went.
As soon as they finished eating, "We shall make balaua so that we invite all our relatives in the different towns, and we also shall invite Awig and Aponigonay," he said.

Rooster crows and proclaims ownership whenever raft passes a village. Old woman Alokotan secures raft before it vanishes into the hole where river ends. Revives the girl. Kanag and children reach home of Alokotan, and girl is restored to them. They celebrate balaua and send betel-nuts covered with gold to invite relatives.
As soon as Asigowan of Nagwatowátan noticed the braveness of Asbinan she made balaua, and she commanded the people to pound rice. Not long after she commanded the betel-nuts to go and invite their relatives. The betel-nuts went to all the towns in the world and invited all the people.
It seems not improbable that the golden colored husks of the ripe betel-nuts may have suggested the substitution. Magic was practiced extensively in "the first time," but it is by no means unknown to the people of the present day.
Soon the liblibayan returned and they said, "We did not get the betel-nuts which you desired for we found a pretty toy among the branches of the tree." Aponitolau took the branch of the tree which shone as if covered with fire and he put a blanket on it and many pillows around it.
