Do not proceed, for you have a bad sign. If you go,
you cannot return to your town," said the old woman Alokotan. "No,
I can go back." So he went. As soon as he arrived at the home of the
lightning, "Where are you going?" said the lightning. "I am going to
get the oranges from Gawigawen of Adasen. Go and stand on the high
stone and I will see what your sign is." So he went and stood on the
high stone and the lightning made a light and Aponitolau dodged. "Do
not go, for you have a bad sign, and Gawigawen will secure you." "No,
I am going." So he went. As soon as he arrived at the place of _Silit_
[218] it said to him, "Where are you going, Aponitolau?" "I am going
to get the oranges of Gawigawen of Adasen." "Stand on top of that
high stone so I can see if you have a good sign." So he went and
_Silit_ made a great noise. As soon as he made the great noise he
jumped. "Go back, Aponitolau, and start another time, for you have
a bad sign." [219] "No, I go."

He arrived at the ocean and he used magic. "I use my power so that
you, my headaxe, sail as fast as you can when I stand on you." As soon
as he stood on it it sailed very fast. Not long after he was across
the ocean and he was at the other edge of the ocean and he walked

so we will not need to cure so much." "If I was an enemy I would have
killed all of you when I arrived here." After that he asked them,
"Is this the spring of Gawigawen of Adasen?" "Yes, it is," said the
women. So he sent the women to the town to tell Gawigawen, and the
women did not tell him for he was asleep. So he went up to the town,
but did not go inside, because the bank reached almost up to the sky,
and he could not get in. He was sorrowful and bent his head.

Soon the chief of the spiders went to him: "What are you feeling
sorry about, Aponitolau?" "I feel sorry because I cannot climb up
the bank and go into the town." "Do not feel sorry. You wait for
me while I go up and put some thread which you can hold," said the
chief of the spiders. [220] So Aponitolau waited for him. Not long
after the spider said, "Now you can climb;" so Aponitolau climbed
on the thread. After he got inside of the town of Gawigawen he went
directly to the house of Gawigawen. When he arrived there Gawigawen
was still
