he _alan_ gave him was pulled up and went to Kadalayapan and the gold house of Dondonyan went to Natpangan. Aponigawani used her power, and when it became morning Kanag cried because his golden house of Dagapan, which was the _alan's_ town, went to Kadalayapan. "Do not cry, Kanag; this is your town; we are your father and mother." So Kanag stopped crying. The next month Kanag said to his father and mother, "The best thing for you to do is to engage me to Daliknayan, who never goes out doors, and there is no one to compare with her, who looks like the firefly in the evening, and her footprints are loved by all the men, for they look like the rainbow."
