The _alan_ [365] once found the afterbirth outside the town and made
it a real baby whose name was Sayen.

Sayen lived in Benben. He was very brave and often went to fight
without companions.

He wanted to marry Danipan who lives in Kadalayapan, but she did
not wish. She hid; so Sayen married her servant, thinking she
was Danipan. The name of the servant was Laey. Sayen took her
home. They had one baby. One day Sayen was making a plow under
the house. Laey was in the house with her baby. She was singing in
the house to her baby. "Sayen thinks I am Danipan, but I am Laey,
Laey no aglage-le-gey-ley." Sayen heard the song and said to himself
that his wife was not Danipan. He went up into the house and said,
"Take off your upper arm beads, and in the morning you will go to
the fields with your baby, because I will go there to plow." She
said, "Yes." In the morning he went there. He went to cut down the
bamboo bridge. At noon his wife carried food to him. She took her
baby with her. When she reached the bamboo bridge it fell with her
and they fell into the water. Sayen went back to his house. When he
got there, he took his headaxe, spear, and shield, and he went to
Kadalayapan. When he got there, he began to kill the people of the
town. When he had killed many people the _lakay_ [366] called Danipan,
"Come out, Sayen is killing many people of the town, because you
did something bad to him." She came out to Sayen and said to him,
"Do not kill all the people, leave some of them so I can go to borrow
fire from them." Sayen answered her, "Take the betel-nut in my bag
and cut it in two pieces for me to eat, for I am very tired." She
took the betel-nut from his bag and cut it in two pieces, and Sayen
chewed the betel-nut. Sayen spat on some of the dead people and made
them alive again and he married Danipan and took her to Benben.

When the people in Magisang [367] went to hunt deer and when they
went to divide it, the _komau_, a big spirit who looks like a man,
and who kills people, [368] went to them to ask them, "How many did
you catch?" If they had caught two they told him "Two," and the _komau_
said, "I caught two also." When they went to their town, there were two
dead people there in their town. Anytime they went to hunt the _komau_
asked them how many they had caught, and when they said how many,
the _ko
