did not open the door, but answered, "We do not want to open
the door unless you are Dumalawi." "Please open the door," said
Ligi [247] to them. The women did not open the door, so he went
back home and he was very angry. In the second night Aponitolau went
again. "Good evening, women," he said. "Good evening," said the women,
and Aponitolau asked them to open the door. "You put your hands into
the door and let us see if the marks on the wrist are the marks on
Kanag Kabagbagowan." Aponitolau showed them his hands and they said,
"You are not Kanag, but you are Ligi, and we do not wish you." Ligi
was very angry and he went back home.

Five days later he said, "Sharpen your knife, Kanag, and we will go
to cut bamboo." So Kanag sharpened his knife. Not long after they
went where many bamboo grew. As soon as they reached the place Ligi
said, "You go up and cut the bamboo and sharpen the ends." Ligi cut
the bamboo below him. As soon as Ligi had cut many bamboo he asked
Kanag if he had cut many, and Kanag said, "Yes." "Did you sharpen
the ends? If you pointed them, put them in one place." Kanag soon put
them in one place. After that Aponitolau said to him, "Ala, my son,
throw them at me so that we can see which is the braver of us." "Ala,

"If you do not wish to throw at me we will go back home." As soon as
they arrived in Kadalayapan Kanag laid down in their _balaua_. When
they called him at meal time he did not wish to go.

When Aponitolau and Apo=nibolinayen finished eating they said,
"If you do not wish to eat we will go to see our little house in the
fields." "We will go and fix it so we will have some protection during
the rainy season," said Aponitolau. So they went truly. As soon as they
arrived at the little house in their farm, "Dig up the jar of _basi_
[248] which I buried when I was a boy." So Kanag dug up the _basi_
which Aponitolau had made when he was a little boy. As soon as he
had dug it up they drank it, and they put the _basi_ in a big coconut
shell. Aponitolau made his son drink a shell full of _basi_, so Kanag
truly drank all of it. "Ala, dip again and I will drink next," said
Ligi to him, and Ligi drank a shell cup of _basi_. "Al
