there long." Not long after all the people from the other towns arrived and they danced until the old woman Alokotan arrived. The three young boys went to hide when Alokotan arrived. Not long after when the _batana_ was nearly finished, "I cannot wait until your _balaua_ is finished, for I am searching for my three boys." "Do not go home yet, for we will see if they will come here to see the young girls. Perhaps they are near here," said Aponitolau. Not long after the three boys appeared to her and Alokotan was glad to see them. "Where have you been, my sons?" "We came to this town and we intended to go back to Nagbotobotan, but our mother Aponibolinayen saw us and she detained us, for she was sure that we are her sons. She pressed her breasts and the milk came into our mouths." The old woman Alokotan was surprised and she went to Aponibolinayen and Aponitolau and talked with them. "Are you sure those boys are your sons? They are my sons. They grew up with me." "Yes, we are sure that they are my sons, for the milk from my breasts went to their mouths.

One of the women had seen Aponitolau hang them in the tree and she told Alokotan that Aponitolau had hung them up. Alokotan hated Aponitolau and she asked why he had hung them in the tree. "I went to hang them up for I was ashamed, because they were not men but pigs." "That is why you hung them up. You have power. If you did not want them to be pigs you could change them to men. If I had not found them, perhaps they would have died." Not long after the _balaua_ was finished, and the people went home, and the old woman Alokotan went home after the others. She gave all her things to the three boys. This is all. (Told by Angtan of Langangilang). 17 Aponibolinayen and Aponitolau had a son and they called him Kanag Kabagbagowan, who was Dumalawi every afternoon. Soon he became a young man and he went to make love to Aponitolau's concubines. When Aponitolau went where his concubines were he said, "Open the door." The women
