ng. When Alokotan gave the belts, and clouts, and coats, he always took the best, and Kanag and Dumalawi were jealous of him, and they said bad things. Ogogibeng said to them, "I am not ashamed, for she is my mother, so I will take the best." Not long after they were young men. "Mother Alokotan, will you let us go to walk? Do not worry while we are gone, for we will return soon," said the three young men. The old woman said "yes" and they went. They agreed on the place they should go, and Ogogibeng said to them, "We will go where the young girls spin." Kanag and Dumalawi agreed, so they went. Not long after they arrived where the young girls were spinning. "Good evening, girls," they said. "Good evening," they replied. "This is the first time you have been here, rich young men. Why do you come here?" "We came to join you and get acquainted," they said, and they talked. They waited for the girls to go home, but they did not go.

Not long after they finished eating and they talked. After that it became night. When they had finished eating in the night they said, "We are going back home, Aunt, but first we are going to the place where those young girls spin." "No, I will not let you go back to Nagbotobotan now, for it is dark. If you are going to the place where the girls are spinning it is all right, but if you are going home I will not let you go down from the house, for I fear you will be lost." So the three young boys said to her, "If you will not let us go back home tonight we will go tomorrow, but we will go where the young girls spin." So Aponigawani and Aponibalagen let them go to w
