o not break it
the sign is good and Kanag and his wife will not separate." When
she hung on the thread and it did not break they allowed Kanag to
marry Dapilisan. After that they played on the _gansas_ and they
danced. When they had danced all the guests took some jars before
they went home. As soon as the people went home, Aponitolau and
Aponibolinayen took Kanag and his wife to Kadalayapan. This is all.

"I am going to take a bath," said Ligi, so he went. "I am going to
take a bath," said Gamayawan also. As soon as she arrived in the
river she went to bathe and Ligi took a bath further down the stream,
and he put his _balangat_ [272] on the bank, and it flew and alighted
