they looked under the _talagan_ [244] they saw Kabkabaga-an, and Aponibolinayen went to take her hand, and they made her dance. As soon as she finished dancing she told Aponibolinayen and Aponitolau that she would go back home. "No, do not go yet, for we will make _pakalon_ for Tabyayen first," said Aponibolinayen. "No, you care for him. I must go home now, for no one watches my house." Not long after she went, for they could not detain her, and they did not see her when she went. As soon as the _Sayang_ was over they made _pakalon_ for Kanag and Tabyayen, and Kanag married Dapilisan, and Tabyayen married Binaklingan, and the marriage price was the _balaua_ about nine times full for each of them. As soon as they both were married Tabyayen staid in his house which had been up in the air before. Kanag staid in another house which Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen had. (Told by Angtan of Lagangilang.) 16 "Look out for our children, Ligi, while I wash my hair," said Ayo. "Yes," said Ligi. As soon as Ayo reached the spring Ligi went to make a basket, in which he put the three little pigs which had little beads around their necks. As soon as he made the basket he put the three little pigs in it, and he climbed a tree and he hung the basket in it. Not long after he went down and Ayo went back home from the well. "Where are our children--the little pigs--?" [245] said Ayo to him. As soon as Ligi said he did not know, Ayo began to search for them, but she did not find them. The little pigs which Ligi hung in the tree grunted, "Gek, gek, gek," and the old woman, Alokotan of Nagbotobotan, went to take a walk. While she was walking she stopped under the tree where the pigs hung. She heard them grunting and she looked up at them and saw that the basket contained three pigs. "What man hung those little pigs in the basket in the tree? Perhaps he does not like them. I am going to get them and take them home, so that I will have something to feed." So she got them. She took them home, and she named the older one Kanag, the second one Dumalawi, the third was Ogogibeng. Not long after the three little pigs, which had the beads about their necks, became boys, and Ogogibeng was naughty. When the old woman Alokotan gave them blankets, he was the first to choose the one he wished. "Shame, Ogogibeng, why are you always the naughtiest and are always selfish." "Yes, I always want the best, so that the girls will want me," said Ogogibe
