I am going to Asbinan in Kalaskígan to have him make me a shoe of gold. To-morrow you must not use any of the things you have had out-of-doors, but you may make use of them when you build the taltalabong." The last spirit to come that night was Ablalansa who keeps guard over the sons of Kadaklan.
"Well, you go and get them, for I am going to get the head of the old man To-odan of Kalaskigan before we make Sayang." So Aponibolinayen went to get his clout and belt. After that he oiled his hair and Aponibolinayen put a golden bead on each hair. Not long after he went to get his headaxe and spear. As soon as Aponibolinayen gave him his provisions for the journey, he started.
As soon as they arrived at the river near the town of Kalaskigan, Kanag saw them and there were many of them by the river. He sent crocodiles and they went to take the people across the river. Aponitolau was the first who rode on one of the crocodiles and the crocodile dived, so Aponitolau went back again to the bank of the river.
The people asked who was making Sayang in Kalaskigan, and she replied that it was Kanag and his wife Dapilísan. Not long after they washed their clothes and hair, and took a bath. When it became afternoon they went and Aponitolau followed them, and he looked as if he was crazy.
Not long after Aponitolau went to their house and asked Aponibolinayen why she did not reply to him when he shouted two times. "I did not answer, for I have a headache." "Why is the fastening on the door different from before?" "I don't know. No one came in." Not long after Aponitolau went up into the house. "Now, Aponibolinayen, I have taken the head of the old man To-odan of Kalaskigan.
So Dalonágan called her big pet spider and said, "You, my pet spider, go around the town of Kalaskigan and spin a thread as you go, on which Aponibolinayen must string golden beads." When the spider had put a thread around the town Dalonágan said to Aponibolinayen, "Now, you put golden beads on the spider's thread which surrounds the town."
When he was in the middle of the way he became very tired, for it was far. So he used magic and he said, "I use my power so that I will arrive at once at the town of To-odan of Kalaskigan." Soon after he arrived in Kalaskigan. When he arrived at the yard beside the balaua the old man was lying down. The old man saw him and said, "Eb, I have a man to eat."
So he used his magical power and soon the big storm came and took Kanag to Kalaskigan while he was sleeping. Not long after Aponitolau went back home to Kadalayapan. Aponibolinayen asked him where Kanag was. "I thought he came ahead of me," Ligi said. "I think you have killed him," said Aponibolinayen, "for you think he loves your concubines."
Some of the betel-nuts which they sent arrived in Kadalayapan where Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen lived and they said, "Good morning," to Aponitolau who was lying down in the balaua. He felt badly because Kanag was a serpent and he said to the betel-nut, "Good morning. Come to Kalaskigan, for Kanag and Amau are making Sayang and they want you to come."
She picked it up and tried to cut it. "Do not cut me, for I came to invite you, for Kanag and his wife Dapilísan sent me to summon you to their Sayang in Kalaskigan," said the betel-nut. Aponibolinayen was glad when she heard that Kanag was alive. So she got up and told all the people of Kadalayapan to wash their hair so that they might attend the Sayang in Kalaskigan.
