Some Bagobo have been known to kill the cat; but they always got sick afterwards. How a Dog Scared the Buso The Tigbanua' are the worst of all the Buso; they want to be eating human flesh all the time. They live in great forests, in the pananag-tree, in the magbo-tree, in the baliti-tree, and in the liwaan-tree. One day a man went out to hunt, and he took his dog with him.
Then the children called to their father and mother; but only from the pananag-tree the answer came, "Just wait till I finish this basket to hold you in." The frightened children did not dare to run away; and Buso sat down near by in the little hut where the rice was kept. Soon he said to the children, "Please comb out my nice hair."
"One, one, maya-bird, Yonder in the north; Keep off from eating it, This my rice." Just then they heard the sound of a voice, calling from the great pananag-tree, "Wait a minute, children, until I make a basket for you." "What is that?" said the boy to his sister. "Oh, nothing!" answered the little girl. "It's the sound of something."
The Tigbanua' that lives in the liwaan-tree called out to the Tigbanua' that lives in the pananag-tree, "The mighty chief of all the Tigbanua', who lives in the sigmit-tree, gives this command to his people: 'Don't make fun of the man, because he has been here many times before. " And right there, under the trees, the man, standing by his dog, was listening to the talk of the Buso.
Up to his house in the pananag-tree went Buso with the heavy basket. When his wife saw him, she laughed and shouted very loud. She was glad, because she thought there was a man in the basket, all ready to eat. But, when Buso slipped the basket down from his shoulders, there was no human flesh in it, but only big stones. Then the angry Buso hurried back to look for the two children.
