in goes to Kadalayapan. You stand there by our house," he said; so the little house went there while they were asleep. The next morning Wanwanyen was surprised because many chickens were crowing and many people were talking, and when she went to look out of the window there were many houses. "Why, Dumanau, it is not the jungle where we are now; where are we?" she said. "It is the town of Kadalayapan." Not long after their three children went to look out of the window and they saw the sugar cane, and they were anxious to chew it. "Father, go and get the sugar cane for us to chew," they said. Dumanau went, and he advised Wanwanyen-Aponibolinayen to fasten the door while he was gone. "If anyone comes do not open the door." He went, and Dumanau's father and mother were frightened, because the little house was by their dwelling, for there was no little house there before. As soon as Dumanau arrived in the house of his father and mother they were surprised, for they had searched for him three years. They asked where he had been, and he said he had found a wife in the wood when he had staid for three years. He told his mother that she must not go to his house and say bad words to his wife.

Dumanau sharpened his headaxe and spear, for he wanted to kill his mother, because she said bad things to his wife Wanwanyen, but he did not kill her, because she fastened the door. As soon as Dumanau arrived in their house he made a _tabalang_ [261] of gold, and put the body of Wanwanyen inside of it, and he put a golden rooster on top of it. As soon as he finished he put the body of Wanwanyen inside of it. As soon as he had done this he said, "If you pass many different towns where the people get water, you rooster crow." The r
