ed magic so that when he threw his spear against
him it would go directly to the body of Gawigawen. As soon as he threw
Gawigawen laid down. Kanag ran to him and cut off his five heads and
there was one left, and Gawigawen said to him, "Do not cut off my last
head and I will go and show you where your father is." So Kanag did
not cut off the last head, and they went to see his father. The skin
of his father had been used to cover a drum, and his hair was used to
decorate the house, and his head was placed by the gate of the town,
and the body was put below the house.
As soon as Kanag had gathered together the body of his father he used
his power and he said, "I whip my perfume _banawes_ and directly
he will say _Wes_." [222] His father said, "_Wes_." Not long after
he said, "I whip my perfume _alakadakad_ and directly he will stand
up." So his father stood beside him. After that he whipped his perfume

little boy by him and he said, "Who are you? How long I slept." "I am
your son. 'How long I slept,' you said. You were dead and Gawigawen

his son stood on the blood. "What is the matter with you, father,
that you swim in the blood? Can't you use your power so you don't
have to swim?" Then he took hold of him and lifted him up. As soon
as all the people were killed they used their power so that all the
heads and valuable things went to Kadalayapan.
Aponibolinayen went to look at the _lawed_ vine behind the stove and
it looked like a jungle it was so green, so she believed that her
