"Are you brave, Sayen?" called he in a voice like thunder as he threw the weapon. "Yes," answered Sayen, and he caught the spear. This surprised Kaboniyan, and he threw his head-ax which was as large as the roof of a house, and Sayen caught that also.
Since then the Tinguian have planted crops every year, and because they do as Kaboniyan taught the woman they have plenty to eat. When Dayapan had reaped the first rice and cane, she began to make the ceremony Sayung, and the Spirit came again and directed her.
Oil the heads of the stones well, and decorate them with yellow head bands. When you do this Apadel will always guard the town." The man and his companion always did as Kaboniyan said, and when they made balaua, or were sick, or went to fight, they did this. They ate of the pig, they played the gansas and danced. All who obeyed were always well, but one man who urinated on the stones became crazy.
Tolagan decides to visit certain places in Pangasinan. He rides on a pinto pony and carries rice cakes as provisions. At the spring in Kaodanan he meets a beautiful maiden who warns him to return home, because the birds have given him a bad sign. He returns only to find that his wife has been stolen by the spirit Kaboniyan.
Then Kadaklan, the Great Spirit who lives in the sky, saw that the people often were hungry and sick, and he sent one of his servants, Kaboniyan, to the earth to teach them many things. And it happened this way: Dayapan, a woman who lived in Caalang, had been sick for seven years.
Then they finished what they built, their house. "My wife," said Kaboniyan, "give me the coconut oil, that I oil my spear, for I go to see those Ipogau who are sick." When those Ipogau who were sick were in their house, his spear fell in their house. "What is the matter with you, Ipogau?" said Kaboniyan.
"That is what we told you Ginambo of Gonigonan when you started, but you did not heed, you know that the people of Kaodanan are powerful like Kaboniyan." Soon after that Gináwan of Nagtinawan said, "You people who live in the same town in which I live, let us go to fight Aponigawani of Kadalayapan." "No, we do not wish to go, because the people who live in Kadalayapan are powerful like Kaboniyan.
"We do not know where Sayen is," answered the people; and just then he sprang out and killed the Komow, and the people were greatly relieved. Now when Kaboniyan, a great spirit, heard what Sayen had done, he went to him and said: "Sayen you are a brave man because you have killed the Komow, Tomorrow I will fight with you.
Ala, let us go to Sudipán where the Tinguian live and let us take our igam, so that some one may make them bright again." Kaboniyan looked down on them. "Ala, I shall go down to the Ipogau." He truly went down to them, "What is the matter with you?" "We are all sick who live in the same place," said those sick ones.
His townspeople go with him to seek the wonderful tree, but part of the cave is closed by the spirit Kaboniyan who owns it. The jar Magsawi formerly talked softly, but now is cracked and cannot be understood. In the first times the dogs of some hunters chased the jar and the men followed, thinking it to be a deer.
