But Dalonagan, the mother of Dapilisan, was not satisfied, and said: "No, there is still more to pay." "Very well," replied Aponibolinayen. "Tell us what it is and we will pay it." Then Dalonagan called a pet spider and said: "You big spider, go all around the town, and as you go spin a thread on which Aponibolinayen must string golden beads."
When Aponibolinayen had put the golden beads on the web, Dalonágan said again, "I am going to hang on the thread and if I do not break it the sign is good and Kanag and his wife will not separate." When she hung on the thread and it did not break they allowed Kanag to marry Dapílísan. After that they played on the gansas and they danced.
I did not believe that Dapilísan was there, and I am afraid that your father and mother will not like our daughter Dapilísan, for they did not send an engagement present to us." Kanag said to him, "This is why I came here, and they sent their spirit helpers with me to find a pretty girl to marry, so I will not go down.
When Dapilisan went home Kanag followed her, and he told her parents his name and how he had changed into a little bird. And when he had finished he asked if he might marry their daughter.
Each person drank from a golden cup filled with basi from out of the little jar which looked like a fist, and one third of the basi in the jar was still left. As soon as the people drank they took them up to the town. When they arrived in the town Aponibolinayen was anxious for them to chew betel-nut. So she gave some to Kanag and his wife Dapilísan and to some others.
Then Dumalawi knew that he had companions, and upon going out he walked about where the people were warming themselves by fires in their yards, and he visited them all. In one yard was a beautiful maiden, Dapilisan, and after Dumalawi had talked with her and her parents, he went on to the other yards, but she was ever in his thoughts.
"My name is Dapilísan, who is the daughter of Bangan and Dalonágan of Kabno-angan." After that the girl was in a hurry to go home, for she was afraid her father and mother would see her, for they did not know that she had gone to the well. She did not want Kanag to go with her to the town, but he did not want to leave her, and the sun shone in the east. The girl went home and Kanag followed her.
He went down the ladder, and he went where the people were burning fires in the yards of their houses, and he went to see all of them. While he was visiting them he saw Dapilísan in the yard of her house and Kanag said to Bangan and Dalonágan, "My Aunt Bangan and my Uncle Dalonágan, do not be surprised, for I want to marry your daughter Dapilísan."
Not long after they approached the town and Bangan was in the yard of their house, and Dalonágan was looking out of the door. Not long after she saw them. "What is the matter with Dapilísan? A boy is with her as she returns from the well," said Dalonágan. Bangan was surprised and he did not believe it, for their daughter never went outdoors.
Not long after he singed the pigs and he carried them to the people, and his wife Dapilísan carried one little jar which looked like a fist, filled with basi. As soon as the woman who was making Sayang had finished the diam near by the well, Dapilísan made the people drink the basi which she carried.
