When they had finished eating in the night they said, "We are going back home, Aunt, but first we are going to the place where those young girls spin." "No, I will not let you go back to Nagbotobotán now, for it is dark. If you are going to the place where the girls are spinning it is all right, but if you are going home I will not let you go down from the house, for I fear you will be lost."
While they were walking they arrived in Nagbotobotán and Dumanau saw the tabalang in the yard by the house of Alokotán and they exchanged greetings. "Good afternoon," they said, and Alokotán took them upstairs; so they went up.
When the boys reached the house of Aponigawani and Aponibalagen they told them they were going home to Nagbotobotán. Aponigawani and Aponibalagen did not want to let them go until they had eaten breakfast. The three boys went even though they did not want them to go. As soon as they reached Nagbotobotán the old woman Alokotán asked them where they had been, and she was very angry with them.
"Why did we grow up in Nagbotobotán with our mother Alokotán, if you are truly our mother?" "I think she found you and took you away, for she is a good woman. She thought you were lost and took you to Nagbotobotán." So Aponibolinayen took them home. As soon as they arrived home Aponibolinayen said to Aponitolau, "Here are our sons whom I found.
So they used magic so that their house in Kadalayapan went to Nagbotobotán, and the people were surprised at the noise made by the house when it went to Nagbotobotán. They saw that it was a big house all made of gold, and they placed it near to the house of Alokotán. Not long after Wadagan made balaua, because he could not find his family in their golden house.
Not long after the three boys appeared to her and Alokotán was glad to see them. "Where have you been, my sons?" "We came to this town and we intended to go back to Nagbotobotán, but our mother Aponibolinayen saw us and she detained us, for she was sure that we are her sons. She pressed her breasts and the milk came into our mouths."
They said that they came from Nagbotobotán and that Alokotán was their mother. I told them that I was their mother, but they did not believe me." "I do not believe that they are our sons, for our children were three little pigs." "I also had doubts when I met them, but I pressed my breasts and the milk went to their mouths, so I am sure that they are our sons."
"'Where are you going, you say, women. I am following Wanwanyen-Aponibolinayen whom I put inside the tabalang for she was dead. Did you see the tabalang pass here?" said Dumanau. "It passed by here long ago. Perhaps it is in Nagbotobotán now." "Ala, I leave you now, women, and I go and follow." "Yes," answered the women.
The little pigs which Ligi hung in the tree grunted, "Gek, gek, gek," and the old woman, Alokotán of Nagbotobotán, went to take a walk. While she was walking she stopped under the tree where the pigs hung. She heard them grunting and she looked up at them and saw that the basket contained three pigs. "What man hung those little pigs in the basket in the tree? Perhaps he does not like them.
When she speaks to the cut on our daughter's body the body and head will join better," said Aponibolinayen to Awig. Not long after, "Ala, you spirit helpers go to get old woman Alokotán of Nagbotobotán, so she will speak to the cut on Linongan," said Awig. "Yes," said the spirits and they went.
