a, dip again, we will drink three shell cups of this _basi_," said Ligi. When Kanag had drunk the three shells of wine he was drunk and he slept. As soon as he was asleep, "What shall I do now," said Ligi to himself. "The best thing for me to do is to send him away with the storm." So he used his magical power and soon the big storm came and took Kanag to Kalaskigan while he was sleeping. Not long after Aponitolau went back home to Kadalayapan. Aponibolinayen asked him where Kanag was. "I thought he came ahead of me," Ligi said. "I think you have killed him," said Aponibolinayen, "for you think he loves your concubines." Aponitolau went to lie down in their _balaua_ and Aponibolinayen laid down in the house and their hair grew long along the floor, they laid so long. Not long after Kanag awoke and he saw that he was in the middle of a field so wide that he could not see the edges of it. "How bad my father is to me, for he sent me here," he said. "The best thing for me to do is to create people so that I will have neighbors. I will use magic so that many betel-nut trees will grow in the middle of the field."

He went down the ladder, and he went where the people were burning fires in the yards of their houses, and he went to see all of them. While he was visiting them he saw Dapilisan in the yard of her house and Kanag said to Bangan and Dalonagan, "My Aunt Bangan and my Uncle Dalonagan, do not be surprised, for I want to marry your daughter Dapilisan." "If you marry our daughter, your father and mother will be greatly ashamed," said Dalonagan. Kanag said to them, "My father and mother did not want me and they will not interfere." So they were married. "The best way for us to do, Dapilisan, is for us to make _Sayang_" said Kanag. So Dapilisan commanded someone to go and get the betel-nut fruit which was covered with gold. Not long after, "Ala, you betel-nuts which are covered with gold come here and o
