Fa-tang'-a started to drink, but Lu-ma'-wig said, "Wait; the others first; you last." When it came Fa-tang'-a's turn to drink, Lu-ma'-wig put his hand on him as he drank and pushed him solidly into the mountain. He became a rock, and the water passed through him.
Lu-ma'-wig saw two young people on top of Mount Po'-kis, north of Bontoc. They were Fa-tang'-a and his sister Fu'-kan. They were without fire, as all the fires of Bontoc were put out by the water. Lu-ma'-wig told them to wait while he went quickly to Mount Ka-lo-wi'-tan, south of Bontoc, for fire. When he returned Fu'-kan was heavy with child. Lu-ma'-wig left them, going above as a bird flies.
Soon the child was born, the water subsided in Bontoc pueblo, and Fa-tang'-a with his sister and her babe returned to the pueblo. Children came to the household rapidly and in great numbers. Generation followed generation, and the people increased wonderfully. After a time Lu-ma'-wig decided to come to help and teach the Igorot.
Once when out in I-shil' Mountains northeast of Bontoc, Fa-tang'-a, the brother-in-law of Lu-ma'-wig, said to him, "Oh, you of no value! Here we are without water to drink. Why do you not give us water?" Lu-ma'-wig said nothing, but he turned and thrust his spear in the side of the mountain. As he withdrew the weapon a small stream of water issued from the opening.
