Iwaginan said, "Gintoban do not say that or I shall be ashamed before the people. Wait until I am ready for you." As soon as Aponibolinayen and Lingiwan finished dancing Iwaginan took the skirts from them and he gave one to Gintoban and the other to Ilwisan, and so they danced. And the big jars which she had hung around her neck made a noise and the earth shook when she moved her body.
As soon as they finished dancing the people who went to attend Balaua with them said, "Now we going to put the heads around the town and then go for it is nearly one month now and our families are lonesome for us." So they went to put the heads on the sticks around the town. At that time the two alan who had picked up Lingiwan and Dangdangáyan arrived.
"My name is Lingiwan of Nagtangpan." "My name is Dangdangáyan of Naglitnan. Let us go together when we go to fight." After that they went. When they truly arrived they looked into the town, they saw the two women who looked like flames of fire, because of their beauty. "How terrible that those ladies who always stay in the house have gone to war," they said.
Now that you found out that he is your son you come and take all my things in Kabinbinlan, as soon as the Balaua is finished. As soon as you will get all of them I will fly somewhere." So when the people went home, after the Balaua was finished, Lingiwan and Dangdangáyan went to follow their alan mothers.
When the things arrived in Kaodanan the people were frightened for there were the valuable things which Dangdangáyan took with him. After one month passed Lingiwan said to his father Pagatipánan, "You go and make pakálon for Aponibolinayen for I want to marry her." So his father sent his wife Langa-an to Kaodanan to tell to the father and mother of Aponibolinayen that Lingiwan wished to marry her.
After they finished eating they took the big coconut shell and filled it with basi and each of them drank, and they were all drunk, and Langa-an said, "I like to hear from you if you wish Lingiwan to be a son." Soon Pagbokásan and Ebang agreed. They decided on the day for pakálon.
As soon as they put all the gold in his hair he took his spear and headaxe and he went. Lingiwan of Nagtangpan was in bed in his house. "Sir, you are so happy in your bed in your house, your sister went to fight and the enemies have nearly killed her," said the invisible spirit helpers. "Mother alan I ask you if I have a sister? I never have seen her." "What can you do?
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.
When they started to go home Pagbokásan said to them, "Dangdangáyan wants to marry Aponigawani who is your daughter." "You will wait until next month," said Langa-an. "After Aponibolinayen and Lingiwan are married, we will think first." Not long after the day on which they agreed to take Lingiwan to Aponibolinayen came, and he carried one jar.
After that Langa-an and Ebang went to talk with the two alan, and said to them, "We are surprised for we did not feel our sons come out." The alan said, "Lingiwan I picked up by the side of the road while you were walking, that is why you did not feel him; he was a little bloody when I picked him up, and I made him a man because I have no child to inherit all my things.
