_basi_. As soon
as the woman who was making _Sayang_ had finished the _diam_ [250]
near by the well, Dapilisan made the people drink the _basi_ which
she carried. Each person drank from a golden cup filled with _basi_
from out of the little jar which looked like a fist, and one third
of the _basi_ in the jar was still left. [251] As soon as the people
drank they took them up to the town.

When they arrived in the town Aponibolinayen was anxious for them to
chew betel-nut. So she gave some to Kanag and his wife Dapilisan and
to some others. So they chewed and Kanag said to them, "You are first
to tell your names." "My name is Aponitolau of Kadalayapan," said the
man who looked like he was crazy. "My name is Aponibolinayen." As
soon as they had told their names Kanag was the next and he said,
"My name is Kanag Kabagbagowan who was carried by the big storm." "My
name is Dapilisan, who is the daughter of Bangan and Dalonagan, who is
the wife of your son Kanag, for whom you did not make _pakalon_. It
is bad if you do not like the marriage." "Our daughter, Dapilisan,
we like you, for Kanag wanted to marry you," said Aponibolinayen. Not
long after the _balaua_ was nearly finished, but the people were still

different springs and _bananayo_ of Kaodanan and you _liblibayan_,
go and get the jars, _malayo_ and _tadogan, sumadag_ and _ginlasan_
and _addeban_ and _gumtan_, which Kanag must pay as the marriage
price for Dapilisan." As soon as she had commanded they went, and they
filled the _balaua_ nine times, and Aponibolinayen said to Dalonagan,
"I think now that we have paid the marriage price," and Dolonagan said,
"No, there is more still to pay." "All right, if we still owe, tell
us and we will pay." So Dalonagan called her big pet spider and said,
"You, my pet spider, go around the town of Kalaskigan and spin a
thread as you go, on which Aponibolinayen must string golden beads."

When the spider had put a thread around the town Dalonagan said to
Aponibolinayen, "Now, you put golden beads on the spider's thread which
surrounds the town." Aponibolinayen again commanded the _liblibayan,
alan_, and the other spirits to go and get the golden beads. As soon
as
