he garbage pot of the old woman,
and she was angry and said, "If you are a brave boy, you go and
get your father whom Gawigawen of Adasen has inherited." And Kanag
went back to their house crying. "I did not have a father, you said,
mother, but the old woman said he was inherited by Gawigawen, when he
went to get the orange fruit. Now prepare provisions for me to take,
for I am going to get my father." Aponibolinayen said to him, "Do not
go or Gawigawen will get you as he did your father." But Kanag said,
"If you do not let me go and do not give me food, I will go without
