"She is on the mat, my cousin Iwaginan, but I do not like to let her go with you, for she is the cause of my making Sayang, for I wanted to find out who was the mother of the boy. Now she is his mother. The best thing for you to do is to marry Aponibolinayen and I am going to marry this woman," said Ligi. Not long after Iwaginan went back home.
"I use my power so that Ligi cannot see us, and the trail will become filled with thorns." Not long after Ligi could not walk in the trail and he could not see them, and he was very sorry. He laid down, because he could not follow them and his hair grew like vines along the ground; and he did not eat, for he was always sorry about the things he had done to his wife and son.
When Ligi went again to the field in the afternoon, the tikgi said: "Come, Ligi, and see what we have done, for we want to go home now." Ligi was amazed, for he saw five hundred bundles of rice cut. And he said: "Oh, Tikgi, take all the rice you wish in payment, for I am very grateful to you." Then the tikgi each took one head of rice, saying it was all they could carry, and they flew away.
Not long after they chewed betel-nut and the quid of Langa-an and Pagatipánan and the quids of Dagdagalisit went together, and the quid of Pagbokásan and Ebang went to the quid of Aponibolinayen and Awig, and Langa-an and Pagatipánan changed the name of Dagdagalisit to Ligi. "Ala, now mother old alan do not feel sorry, for we take Aponitolau to Kadalayapan," said Langa-an.
So Ligi gave them all the fruit in the sack and all he held in his hand. "Do not give everything to Aponibolinayen, but give to us also." So he gave them all he had. "The baby inside of Aponibolinayen, which desires the bolnay, is not your child, but is the child of Maobágan," said his sweethearts, and when they had eaten all of the fruit Ligi went home with nothing but the sack.
So the rice cutters and bands worked alone and Ligi went home when he had shown them where to cut rice. He advised the tikgi to cut rice until afternoon, and they said, "Yes, Ligi, when it is afternoon you truly come back." "Yes," said Ligi. When it became afternoon Ligi went. As soon as he arrived at the field the rice which they had cut was gathered five hundred bundles.
While Ligi is bathing in river his headband flies away and alights on the skirt of a maiden who is bathing further down stream. The girl carries the headband home and soon finds herself pregnant. The child is born when she has the space between her third and fourth fingers pricked. With each bath the child grows a span and soon becomes so active that he hinders mother at her work.
As soon as Ligi had cut many bamboo he asked Kanag if he had cut many, and Kanag said, "Yes." "Did you sharpen the ends? If you pointed them, put them in one place." Kanag soon put them in one place. After that Aponitolau said to him, "Ala, my son, throw them at me so that we can see which is the braver of us."
"How angry you were, Ligi; you killed your son," said Aponibolinayen, and Ligi bent his head, for he did not know it was his son. "I will use magic so that when I whip my perfume alikadakad he will stand up." So the little boy stood up at once. Not long after she used her power again, and whipped her perfume dagimonau so that her son awoke. He woke up and said, "How long my sleep is!"
As soon as she arrived in the river she went to bathe and Ligi took a bath further down the stream, and he put his balangat on the bank, and it flew and alighted on the skirt of Gamayawán. Not long after Gamayawán went in a hurry to seize it. "Here is my toy," she said, and she put on her skirt, and Ligi was sorrowful, and he went home.
