onitolau followed them, and the oranges followed him. Not long after Aponitolau looked back and he saw the _alzados_ following him, for they wished to kill him. As soon as he saw them he commanded his strike-a-light to become a high bank so the _alzados_ could not follow him. [181] So the strike-a-light became a high bank, and the _alzados_ were on the other side and could not follow him. Not long after he was near to Kadalayapan. As soon as he arrived there he found all the heads near the gate of the town and he said to them, "You heads of Giambolan stay by the well, and you heads of the people who lived with him gather here by the gate." He went to the town and told the people to gather by the gate and play the _gansas_ and dance, and he commanded someone to invite their friends in other towns. Not long after the people from the other towns arrived in Kadalayapan, and the people who lived there were still dancing. Aponitolau danced with Danay of Kabisilan. The next was his son Kanag Kabagbagowan who danced with five young girls who never go outdoors. As soon as they had all danced they went to their towns. Then they put the heads around the town of Kadalayapan. (Told by Magwati of Lagangilang.) 8 Aponibolinayen and Aponitolau were anxious to make _Sayang_, [182] so Aponitolau asked Aponibolinayen about his clout and his striped belt. "Well, you go and get them, for I am going to get the head of the old man To-odan of Kalaskigan before we make _Sayang_." So Aponibolinayen went to get his clout and belt. After that he oiled his hair and Aponibolinayen put a golden bead on each hair. Not long after he went to get his headaxe and spear. As soon as Aponibolinayen gave him his provisions for the journey, he started. When he was in the middle of the way he became very tired, for it was far. So he used magic and he said, "I use my power so that I will arrive at once at the town of To-odan of Kalaskigan." Soon after he arrived in Kalaskigan. When he arrived at the yard beside the _balaua_ the old man was lying down. The old man saw him and said, "Eb, I have a man to eat." And Aponitolau said, "You will never eat me. Go and get your headaxe and spear, for you must fight with me. I will take your head before I make _Sayang_." The old man was angry and he stood up and went to get his headaxe and spear. "You are the only person who ever came in my town. Go on, and throw your spear, if you are brave," said To-odan. "
