You go to all the towns where our relatives live and invite them, and if they do not wish to come you grow on their knees." So the betel-nuts went. Not long after the people whom they invited came to the place where they made balaua and they all danced. The companion of Ilwisan of Dagápan in dancing was Alama-an. When Ilwisan stamped his feet the earth rumbled.

As soon as they agreed, the alan gave them valuable things. Aponitolau used his power and the golden house of Kanag which the alan gave him was pulled up and went to Kadalayapan and the gold house of Dondonyán went to Natpangan. Aponigawani used her power, and when it became morning Kanag cried because his golden house of Dagápan, which was the alan's town, went to Kadalayapan.

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.

When Aponitolau and Asindamáyan finished dancing he made to dance Dinay of Kabisilan, who was the daughter of Dalonágan, and also they made to dance Kanag, who was the son of Aponibolinayen and Aponitolau. When they finished to dance, Datalan and Dalonágan of Kabisilan danced, and when they finished to dance, Iwaginan made Dagapan and Indiápan dance.

When they had finished dancing Ginteban and Agyokan were next. And the beads of Ginteban were jars, which struck together while they danced. Next were Iwaginan and Kindi-iñan who was the wife of Ilwisan of Dagapan. And when they had all danced they stopped playing the gansa.

You, heads of the women, separate, and you, heads of Giambolan, go first, and you, storm, carry the house of Giambolan. You go near to our house in Dagápan." "I will tramp on the town of Giambolan so it will be like the ocean," they said. Not long after the town was like the ocean. They went home and they followed after the heads, which they sent first to their town.

"Ala, we will give him the name of Ilwisan of Dagápan," said all the alan. "I am going to uncover my toy," said the alan Apinganan. "No, do not uncover me, because I have no clout and belt," said the little boy. So Apinganan gave him a clout and belt and uncovered him. "Ala, there is no other good name, but Dondonyán of Bagonan. "I am going to fight," said Dondonyán of Bagonan.

He took his headaxe, which was one span long, and he went to get Ilwisan of Dagápan, and so Ilwisan took his headaxe, which was one span long, and they went. As soon as they got out of the town they began to strike their shields with a stick. The sound of the beating was as great as that made by one hundred.

Gimbagonan, who was the wife of Iwaginan, and Danay of Kabisilan went to Dagápan. When they arrived at the spring of Ilwisan of Dagápan they all stopped. "We will all stop here and wait until someone comes to meet us," said Aponitolau. Not long after Ilwisan and Dondonyan saw all the visitors who were at the spring, so they went to meet them.

As soon as they had taken the girls out they made them sit in one row and the circle of people was very bright, because of the girls, for they were all pretty. After that Iwaginan made Daliknáyan and Dalonagan and Alama-an and Asigtanán dance with Ilwisan of Dagápan. When they had danced across the circle five times they stopped.
