jars and they all went home. [175] So Pagatipanan said to Pagbokasan,
"Now that the _pakalon_ is over we will take Aponibolinayen, because
Lingiwan wants her now." Pagbokasan said, "Do not take her now. You
come and bring Lingiwan day after tomorrow." "If that is what you
say we will bring him, if you will not let us take Aponibolinayen now."

When they started to go home Pagbokasan said to them, "Dangdangayan
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. [176] As soon as they arrived there they made the rice
ceremony. [177] When the ceremony was over Pagatipanan and Langa-an
and the others went home and left Lingiwan.

As soon as they arrived in Kadalayapan Langa-an asked Aponigawani if
she wanted Dangdangayan to be her husband. Aponigawani said, "If you
think it is good for me to be married now, and you think he is a good
man for my husband it is all right, for he has magical power like

of Pagbokasan and his companions. "Ala, we do not stay long now,
_Abalayan_, [178] we want to know if you wish Dangdangayan to be
married to Aponigawani. We will have a good time during _pakalon_,"
they said. After that Langa-an and Pagatipanan said, "Now the meal is
ready. We are going to eat first and after that you will hear what
we say." And Pagbokasan and Ebang did not wish to eat for they were
in a hurry and only went to hear if they wished Dangdangayan to be
the husband of Aponigawani. "If you do not wish to come and eat with
us, we do not want Dangdangayan to be married to Aponigawani," they
said. Then they all went to eat. After they ate, "Ala now that we
have finished eating you excuse us, for we want to know if you wish
Dangdangayan to be married to Aponigawani." Langa-an and Pagatipanan
said, "You will come next month, we will make _pakalon_." So they went
home and Dangdangayan went to meet them a
