ong after he went
to the river and washed his hair. As soon as he finished he took
a bath and went back home. When he arrived in his house he said,
"Aponibolinayen, please comb my hair." "Take the comb and go to
Indiapan, for I have no time," answered Aponibolinayen. "If you have no
time, give it to me then," said Aponitolau. Aponibolinayen was angry
and went to get it for him. "What is the matter that you cannot go
and get it yourself?" As soon as he got it Aponitolau went to Indiapan.

Kabkabaga-an, who lived up in the air, was looking down, and said,
"Indiapan, you have good fortune, for Aponitolau will come and ask you
to comb his hair." Not long after Aponitolau arrived. "Will you comb my
hair, Indiapan, because Aponibolinayen is impatient and does not want
to comb my hair?" "I am sleepy," said Indiapan. She sat down. "Ala,
you come and comb my hair," said Aponitolau. Not long after Indiapan
went to comb his hair and Aponitolau sat by the door. Kabkabaga-an
looked down on them and said, "Indiapan has a good fortune, for she
is combing the hair of Aponitolau." When she had combed his hair she
went to lie down again and Aponitolau said to her, "Will you please

finger of his left hand. The blood went up in the air. "Ala, Indiapan,
take your belt, for I cannot stop my finger from bleeding. Come and
wrap it," said Aponitolau to her. So Indiapan got up and she went
to get her belt and she wrapped his finger, but the blood did not
stop, so she called Aponibolinayen, for she was frightened when
she saw the blood go up. Aponibolinayen said, "What is the matter
with you?" She took her hat which looked like a woodpecker and she
went, and the sunshine stopped when she went down out of her house,
and Kabkabaga-an saw Aponibolinayen going to Aponitolau. "What good
fortune Aponibolinayen has, for she is going to see Aponitolau." As
soon as she arrived where Indiapan lived she wrapped her belt around
the finger of Aponitolau, but the blood did not stop and they were
frightened. Aponibolinayen commanded their spirit helpers to get
Ginalingan of Pindayan, who was a sister of Iwaginan, to make _dawak_
[240] and stop the blood of Aponitolau. Not long after India
