hey all stopped. "We
will all stop here and wait until someone comes to meet us," said
Aponitolau. Not long after Ilwisan and Dondonyan saw all the visitors
who were at the spring, so they went to meet them. Each of them took
a glass of _basi_ and gave the drink to them. When they had all drank
they took them up to the town. Not long after, when they arrived in
the town, they sat down, and Aponitolau and the other people took
the _gansa_, and Iwaginan took the _alap_ [257] and they danced first
with Aponibolinayen. As soon as they finished dancing they took out
of their belts the girls who never go out doors, and they joined
the people. The girl whom Aponibolinayen took out of her belt was
Daliknayan, and the girls whom Aponigawani took out of her belt were

As soon as they finished eating they gathered again, and the _alan_
Kilagen told them that Ilwisan was the son of Aponibolinayen, and
Dondonyan was the son of Aponigawani. She said, "The reason that we
made your son come to life was that we might have someone to give our
things to, for we have no children to inherit them." "If that is so we
are going to change their names. Ilwisan will be Kanag Kabagbagowan,"
said Aponitolau. "Dondonyan will be Dagolayen, who is a rich man." "Now
it is two months since we came here and we go home," they all said. As
