So Bagbagak sent the stars down, and when they reached the bamboo fence that was around the field they sprang over it, and each broke a stalk of the cane and pulled some beans which Aponibolinayen had planted, and the stems of these beans were of gold. Gaygayoma was delighted with the things that the stars brought her.
Not long after that they made Libon, and they invited Gaygayóma and all their relatives from the other towns and they danced for one month. Then the people from the other towns went home. As soon as all the people had gone home Aponitolau went to take back the boy to his mother Gaygayóma. When they arrived where Gaygayóma lived he gave the boy to her and he staid there three days.
And when the father and son returned, all the relatives came to their house for a great feast, and all were so happy that the whole world smiled. The Story of Gaygayoma who Lives up Above Tinguian One day, while Aponitolau sat weaving a basket under his house, he began to feel very hungry and longed for something sweet to chew. Then he remembered that his field was still unplanted.
Now Gaygayoma had grown very fond of Aponitolau, and she had commanded the stars not to harm him if he was willing to return to her. So when he gave his consent, they put him in the basket and flew away with him, leaving Aponibolinayen very sad and lonely.
He hurried home to tell Aponibolinayen how fast their plants had grown, and she was proud of her powerful husband. Now about this time Gaygayoma, who was the daughter of Bagbagak, a big star, and Sinag, the moon, looked down from her home in the sky, and when she saw the tall sugar-cane growing below, she was seized with a desire to chew it.
At first she would not listen to him, but he pleaded so hard that at last she consented to let him go for one moon . If he did not return at the end of that time, she said, she would send the stars to eat him. Then she called for the basket again, and they were lowered to the earth. There Aponitolau got out, but Gaygayoma and the baby returned to the sky.
"Yes, if that is what you say, but you must tell your name first," said the woman. "My name is Aponitolau who am the husband of Aponibolinayen of Kadalayapan." "My name is Gaygayóma who am the daughter of Bagbagak and Sinag, up in the air," said the woman. "Ala, now you, Aponitolau, even though you have a wife I am going to take you up, for I wish to marry you.
"Yes, I followed her here, but I am ashamed before you who live here, for you are powerful," he said. While they were talking Bagbagak went back home. After he had lived with Gaygayóma five months she had him prick between her last fingers and a little baby popped out, and it was a beautiful baby boy. "What shall we call our son?" said Aponitolau.
When they arrived Gaygayóma chewed one of the sugar cane stalks and she felt happy and well, and she saw the beans with the golden stems and she cooked and ate them. When she had chewed all the sugar cane which the stars had secured, she said, "Ala, my father Bagbagak, come and follow me to the place where the sugar cane grows, for I am anxious to see it."
I told them not to go over there, but they went anyway. I think Gaygayóma saw them playing and she cried." Then Aponibolinayen went to take them away from the yard where they were playing. She took them upstairs. It was at the time when they were building the balaua.
