e liver which you
wanted. Come and take it." "Put it in the kitchen. I will go and fix
it when my head does not hurt." Aponitolau put it in the kitchen and
he went to the _balaua_ again. When Aponitolau was in the _balaua_,
Aponibolinayen went to the kitchen and cooked the liver and she tried
to eat, but she vomited again, so she threw it away, and the dogs
all barked. "What is the matter? Why do the dogs bark? I think you
threw away the livers." Aponibolinayen said, "I threw away what I
did not eat, for I did not eat all of it." "Do not throw them away,
for bye and bye I will eat, for it is hard to go and get them."

Not long after she went again to the room, and Aponitolau thought that
Aponibolinayen did not tell the truth, so he used his power. "I use my
power so that I will become a centipede." So he became a centipede and
he went in the crack of the floor where Aponibolinayen was lying. Not
long after Aponibolinayen said again, "I am anxious to eat the oranges
which belong to Gawigawen of Adasen." "I know now what you want; why
did you not tell the truth at first? That is why you threw away all
the things I went to get for you," said Aponitolau, and he became
a man and appeared to her. "I did not tell the truth for I feared
you would not return, for no one who has gone there has returned,
so I am patient about my headache."

"Ala, go and get rice straw, and I will wash my hair." Not long after
he went to wash his hair. When he finished washing his hair he went to
get one _lawed_ vine, and he went back home. He planted the vine by
the hearth. "Make some cakes for my provision on the journey." "No,
do not go, Aponitolau," said Aponibolinayen. "Make some, for if you
do not I will go without provisions." Not long after Aponibolinayen
went to cook cakes. As soon as she finished, "Ala, you come and oil
my hair." As soon as she oiled his hair, "Go and get my dark clout and
my belt and my headband." So Aponibolinayen went to get them. As soon
as he dressed he took his spear and headaxe and he told Aponibolinayen
that if the _lawed_ leaves wilted he was dead. [217] So he went.

As soon as he arrived at the well of Gimbangonan all the betel-nut
trees bowed, and Gimbangonan shouted and all the world trembled. "How
strange that all the world trembles when that lady shouts." So
Aponitolau took a walk. Not long after the old woman Alokotan saw him
and she sent her little dog to bite his leg, and it took out part
of his leg. "
