As soon as they finished to eat, "Now we are not going to stay long, because we must go home," they said. So Dangdangáyan dropped down the women who never go out of the house. "Why Aponibolinayen is here and Lingiwan also," they said. Dingowan of Nagtangpan took Aponibolinayen and put her inside of a big jar; then they went to Kadalayapan, because they went to take Aponigawani.
If you were not my relative I would have let her go." So Dumanau thanked her many times and they went back home. Not long after they arrived in Kadalayapan. "The best for us to do, Wanwanyen-Aponibolinayen, is for us to build balaua and invite all of our relatives; perhaps you are not the daughter of an alan," said Dumanau. "Why not? I am the daughter of the alan," said Wanwanyen-Aponibolinayen.
Not long after she could walk, Aponitolau saw the pile of bones which the searchers had thrown away when they ate, and it was nine times larger than the balaua. "The best thing for us to do, Asibowan, is for us to go to Kadalayapan, for my father and mother are still searching for me and the people who are searching are eating all their animals."
So they chewed and Kanag said to them, "You are first to tell your names." "My name is Aponitolau of Kadalayapan," said the man who looked like he was crazy. "My name is Aponibolinayen." As soon as they had told their names Kanag was the next and he said, "My name is Kanag Kabagbagowan who was carried by the big storm."
We do not know whether she has a brother or not though someone has said that Aponigawani has no brother." "No we go," said Gináwan. "If that is what you say, we will go," said the people. So they went and they walked and walked until they reached the spring at Kadalayapan. Gináwan said, "You women who are dipping water from the spring, to whom does it belong?" "To Aponigawani," they said.
When the anitos did not arrive at the accustomed time Kanag went out of the caldron and said to his sister, "Now, my sister, I will take you to Kadalayapan. Our father and mother do not know that I have a sister. Do not stay always with the anitos" His sister replied, "I cannot go to Sudipan when no one is making balaua, for I always make dawak as the anitos taught me.
Aside from her name and the fact that she is once pictured as visiting the sky, there is nothing to indicate that his wife Aponibolinayen is to be considered as the moon. A careful study of the other characters who reside in Kadalayapan and Kaodanan fails to yield any evidence that they are considered as celestial beings.
After that he went down out of the balaua and the told people to wash their hair and clothes and to bathe so as to attend the balaua of Pagatipánan of Kadalayapan. So the people who lived with them all went to the river and washed their clothes and hair, and took a bath. As soon as they finished they went home, and they started to go to Kadalayapan.
Not long after, "Ala, you people who live in the same town, let us go now to Kadalayapan for Dumanau's and Wanwanyen's balaua." As soon as they arrived in the place where the people dipped water from the spring they asked where the ford was. "You look for the shallow place," said the people who were dipping the water.
"My name is Dumanau, who is the son of Aponibolinayen and Aponitolau of Kadalayapan." "My name is Wanwanyen-Aponibolinayen, who is the daughter of an alan in Matawatawen." When they put down their quids, they laid in good order as agates with no holes in them. "We are close relatives, and it is good for us to be married." So they married. Three years passed.
