Not long after Aponibolinayen went to make cakes for his provisions, and Dagoláyan started early in the morning to go to see Kanag, and it seemed as if a thousand men struck their shields. Kanag heard the sound of the shield. "Who are the boys with Dagoláyan who go with us to fight?"
Bangan and his wife asked if they liked Dapílísan as a daughter-in-law, and they replied, "It is all right for Kanag to marry Dapílísan. We are glad he found her and did not go down, and remain always a bird." So they agreed on the marriage price, and Bangan and his wife said, "The balaua nine times full of different kinds of jars."
Then the giantess said: "I believe that someone is going to fight, and he will have success." As soon as Kanag reached the place where the old woman, Alokotan, lived, she sent her dog after him, but with one blow of his head-ax he cut off the dog's head.
As soon as the balaua was filled nine times Dalonágan raised her eyebrows and half of the jars vanished, and Aponibolinayen used her power and the balaua was filled again, so it was full truly and Dalonágan said to Aponibolinayen, "The web of the spider will be put around the town and you put golden beads on it, and if it does not break Kanag can marry Dapilísan."
As soon as the pretty girl arrived at the well the helpers saw the girl who appeared like the flame of fire about the betel-nut blossoms. As soon as they saw her washing her hair, they went back in a hurry where Kanag was waiting. "Kanag, come and hurry and see the pretty girl." Kanag said, "I do not wish to see her.
So Aponibolinayen said, "Ala, you alan who live in the different springs and bananáyo of Kaodanan and you liblibayan, go and get the jars, malayo and tadogan, sumadag and ginlasan and addeban and gumtan, which Kanag must pay as the marriage price for Dapilísan."
So Wadagan went back home and he went everywhere and Dolimáman, Kanag and Dagoláyan staid in Nagbotobotán. There was a man Awig and Aponibolinayen, and there was a girl named Linongan. "Ala, you make Linongan start for she goes to watch the mountain rice. You cook for her so that she goes to watch and I go to guide her," said Awig. "Why do you dislike our daughter Linongan?
"What can I do?" she said to the spirit Ayo. Ayo said, "The best thing for us to do is to prick your little finger." Not long after the little baby popped out of her finger. "What shall we call him?" they said. "We will call him Kanag, for it is the name of the people who live in Kadalayapan." Every time they gave him a bath the baby always grew, for they used magic.
When Aponibolinayen had put the golden beads on the web, Dalonágan said again, "I am going to hang on the thread and if I do not break it the sign is good and Kanag and his wife will not separate." When she hung on the thread and it did not break they allowed Kanag to marry Dapílísan. After that they played on the gansas and they danced.
Not long after they saw the head which Kanag had taken, and Kanag saw the heads which Ligi and Dagoláyan had taken were those of an old man and old woman. Dagoláyan said to him, "What did you say when you killed that pretty girl? I think I heard you say, 'Your father does not like you. I did not hear very well so I ask for sure."
