So she went in and Lingiwan asked her the result of her visit to Kaodanan. "They accepted you and we agreed to make pakálon the day after tomorrow." So Lingiwan was glad, and went to tell the people about his marriage, and all the people prepared so that they might go. As soon as the agreed day came they went to Kaodanan and they took many pigs and basi jars.
"My name is Dapilísan, who is the daughter of Bangan and Dalonágan, who is the wife of your son Kanag, for whom you did not make pakálon. It is bad if you do not like the marriage." "Our daughter, Dapilísan, we like you, for Kanag wanted to marry you," said Aponibolinayen. Not long after the balaua was nearly finished, but the people were still dancing.
When he arrives he sees the people nodding their heads as they suck meat out of shells. He returns home without stating his mission, but reports an acceptance. Girl's people are surprised when people come for pakalon. A man sees people eating bamboo shoots, and is told they are eating pagaldanen. He understands them to say aldan "ladder," so he goes home and cooks his bamboo ladder.
The procedure in choosing a bride, the engagement, the pakálon, and the marriage proper are all those of the present day, but the rules governing the marriage of relatives differ radically. As already noted, one of the chief qualifications for marriage, among the people of the tales, was relationship, and even cousins became husband and wife.
"If that is what you say, it is all right," they said. And Ebang used magic so that the balaua was five times full of jars which are malayo, tadogan, and ginlasan. So the balaua was filled five times, and each of the relatives who went to attend the pakálon took some jars.
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.

When they looked under the talagan they saw Kabkabaga-an, and Aponibolinayen went to take her hand, and they made her dance. As soon as she finished dancing she told Aponibolinayen and Aponitolau that she would go back home. "No, do not go yet, for we will make pakálon for Tabyayen first," said Aponibolinayen. "No, you care for him. I must go home now, for no one watches my house."
Will you go and arrange the pakálon?" So Langa-an went at once and got her hat which was as large as the salakasak for she saw that Aponitolau was sorrowful. When she took her hat it clucked. "Why does my hat cluck when I take it down? I think they do not like you, Aponitolau," said Langa-an. "No, you go and try."
As soon as they finished eating, "We cannot stop here long, for we are in a hurry," and they showed her the gold which was like the moon, for they wished to make the engagement. Danay of Kabisilan agreed, and they set a day for pakálon, and it was three days later. Not long after they went back home. As soon as they arrived they told their son Kanag and he was very happy.
