nd call our daughter Amau." Not long after she went to call her. When she arrived where they had put her she said, "Come and eat with the rich young man." "How can I go? I do not know how to walk." "Take the big gold basket and hold on to it while you walk." Not long after she arrived where the food was, and Langa-ayan and Do-ansowan said to the boy who was still in the _balaua_, "Come and eat now, nephew, with our daughter who never goes outdoors." So the boy went quickly, and when he reached the place where the girl was, they ate. When they had finished eating he said that he was sick, but he was not. So they went to fix a place for him to lie and he said, "Perhaps I am sick because of the spirit of the young girl." So they went to call their daughter, for Kanag wanted her to touch him, and he wanted to see her. The girl went to touch his body and he was all right, for he wished her to touch him, and he said, "Now, my uncle and aunt, if you wish me for a son-in-law I wish to marry Amau. I will not go any further to find a wife." The father and mother of the girl agreed to what Kanag said, for the girl wanted to marry him, so they were married.

Some of the betel-nuts which they sent arrived in Kadalayapan where Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen lived and they said, "Good morning," to Aponitolau who was lying down in the _balaua_. He felt badly because Kanag was a serpent and he said to the betel-nut, "Good morning. Come to Kalaskigan, for Kanag and Amau are making _Sayang_ and they want you to come." So Aponitolau got up quickly and told Aponibolinayen who was lying down in the house that Kanag and his wife were making _Sayang_, and they were happy because Kanag was a boy again. They told all the people to prepare to go to the _Sayang_ of Kanag and his wife. So they went, and when they arrived they saw that Kanag was handsomer than before, and Asimbayan went also, for they had invited her. Asimbayan saw that Kanag was the boy who had taken her bracelet and had gone to get the perfume for her, and while she was watching him Kanag went to talk wit
