they secured the beads they put them on the thread which surrounded the town. Not long after they arrived and they strung the beads on the thread. As soon as they finished, Dalonagan hung on the thread to see if it would break. Dapilisan said, "Ala, you thread of the spider be strong and do not break, or I shall be ashamed." Truly, the thread did not break when Dalonagan hung on it. "Ala, my _abalayan_, is there any other debt?" asked Aponibolinayen, and Dalonagan said, "No more." When the _balaua_ was over the people who went to attend the _Sayang_ went home, and Aponibolinayen said to Kanag, "Now, we will take you back to Kadalayapan," and he replied, "No, for I wish to live here."

As soon as she washed her hair she dived in the river, and she washed her arm beads which twinkled in the evening, and she did not know that her blood was flowing and was being carried away by the stream. "I am going to the well," said the _alan_ Apinganan who lived in Bagonan, and she saw the blood of Aponigawani, and she secured it on her headaxe, and she put it inside of her belt. After that she went home. As soon as she arrived in her house she put the blood in the big dish, which had been nine times inherited, and she covered it.
