Put clay dishes in line, which you are to step on. The one who breaks them loses." Aponibolinayen stepped first and there was nothing broken. Ginteban followed and all those clay dishes which she stepped on were broken. Then she went home to Baygan and after that Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen were married. "I am anxious to eat the fruit of the bolnay tree of Matawitáwen," said Aponibolinayen.

Not long after they agreed that they would go to fight. So Kanag agreed with them and they decided on a day and Dagoláyan told him that he would go to his home. "If that is what you say, it is all right," said Kanag, and they all went home. As soon as he arrived at the hole by the bolnay tree: "Why, we are cousins," said the other boy to me.

He secures it, but when it likewise is fed to the dogs, he changes self into an ant and hides near wife until he learns her real wish.

Aponibolinayen said to him, "Because I said that I wanted more you want to put me by the tree." Ligi was angry and he seized her by the arm and dragged her to the tree. As soon as they arrived at the bolnay tree, he dug a hole about neck deep and he put her in it. As soon as he put her in the hole he went back home. Soon Aponibolinayen was ready to give birth.

So Ligi gave them all the fruit in the sack and all he held in his hand. "Do not give everything to Aponibolinayen, but give to us also." So he gave them all he had. "The baby inside of Aponibolinayen, which desires the bolnay, is not your child, but is the child of Maobágan," said his sweethearts, and when they had eaten all of the fruit Ligi went home with nothing but the sack.

She went again to the room and laid down, and Ligi used magic and became an ant, and he went to the crack of the floor, for he wanted to know what Aponibolinayen was saying, for he suspected that she was not telling him the truth. As soon as he arrived in the crack Aponibolinayen repeated her wish to eat the bolnay fruit of Matawitáwen, and Ligi became a man again and appeared to her.
