And Gawigawen laughed at him and said, "One of my fingers will fight you. You will not go back to your town. You will be like your father." Kanag said, "We shall see. Go and get your arms and we will fight here in the yard of your house." Gawigawen became angry and he went to get his headaxe, which was as big as half of the sky, and his spear.
Nuts grow on pet pigs of those who refuse to go. Guests are carried across river by betel-nuts. During dance Gawigawen recognizes his lost wife and seizes her. Is speared to death by the new husband, but is later brought back to life. Parents repay Gawigawen for his lost bride, and also make payment to the girl's family.
Take my headaxe and cut off the remaining head of Gawigawen." So he took the headaxe of Kanag and went to the place where Gawigawen stood. When he struck the headaxe against Gawigawen it did not hurt him and Aponitolau slipped, and his son laughed at him. "What is the matter with you, father? Gawigawen looks as if he were dead, for he has only one head left."
Then Aponibolinayen escaped and ran into the house, and her husband brought his victim back to life, and asked him why he had seized the wife of his host. Gawigawen explained that she was his wife who had been lost, and the people were very much surprised, for they had not recognized her at first.
But Aponitolau paid no attention to the old woman, and by and by he came to the home of the lightning. "Where are you going?" asked the lightning. "I am going to get some oranges of Gawigawen of Adasen," replied Aponitolau. "Go stand on that high rock that I may see what your sign is," commanded the lightning. So he stood on the high rock, but when the lightning flashed Aponitolau dodged.
Kanag would not throw first, for he wanted to prove himself brave, so Gawigawen took aim and threw his head-ax at the boy. Now Kanag used magical power, so that he became an ant and was not hit by the weapon. Gawigawen laughed loudly when he looked around and could not see the boy, for he thought that he had been killed.
"This is the spring of Gawigawen of Adasen," replied the women. "And who are you that you dare come here?" Without replying he went on toward the town, but he found that he could not go inside, for it was surrounded by a bank which reached almost to the sky. While he stood with bowed head pondering what he should do, the chief of the spiders came up and asked why he was so sorrowful.
After the ceremony the brother of the bride turns himself into a firefly and follows her new sister-in-law. Later he again assumes human form and secures her as his wife. The mother of Gawigawen is well received when she goes to seek a wife for her son. The girl's mother furnishes fish by breaking and cooking the fish stick. A day is set for payment of the marriage price.
Did you not get the invitation of Gawigawen of Adasin?" "No," said Aponitolau. Aponibolinayen went to have Lisnaya fix her upper arm beads and they sat in the shade of the pamlo-ongen tree, and Aponibolinayen dropped her switch. "I wish to visit my relatives, but am ashamed because the invitation did not reach me," said Aponitolau.
He is finally reconciled to his family and has former sweethearts killed. A pregnant woman desires the fruit of an orange tree which belongs to the six-headed giant Gawigawen. Her husband asks her what it is she desires and she replies falsely; first, that she wishes a certain fruit, then fish roe, and finally deer liver.
