e. When they
got home the man said to his wife, "Let us go to see our rice." They
went to see the rice. At midday they went home. The next day the
man sent his wife to go to cut the rice. When she got to the rice,
she thought to herself that she could not cut it in a month. Said
she to herself, "I want to be a bird." She lay down on the floor in
a little house that the man had made. She put her hat over her to be
her blanket. Then she became a bird which we call _kakok_ now. Her
cloth became her feathers. In the morning the man went with some rice
for his wife to eat. When he got there, he could not see his wife. He
walked and walked, but he did not find her, then he came to the little
house. He saw his wife's hat, and he picked it up. The bird flew away,
crying "_kakok, kakok_."

In the first time Ganoway was the man who possessed a dog which
caught many deer; and Kaboniyan allowed. The dog pursued the deer
which went in a cave in the rock. The dog went in also, and Ganoway
followed into the hole in the rock. He walked, always following the
dog which was barking, and he felt the shrubs which he touched. The
shrubs all had fruit which tinkled when he touched them. Then he
broke off those branches which tinkled as he touched them, and
Kaboniyan allowed. He came to the end of the cave in the rock which
was at the river Makatbay, and his dog was there, for he had already
caught the deer, which was a buck. It was light in the place where
he was, at the river Makatbay, and he looked at the shrub which he
had broken off in the dark place in the cave. He saw that the shrub
was _denglay_ which bore fruit--the choice agate bead, which is good
for the Tinguian dress. He was glad. He cut up the deer into pieces
and placed it on a bamboo pole which he carried. He thought always
of the beads and wished to return to that shrub which he touched. He
returned and searched, but was not able to find it, and because he
failed he returned to his home in An-nay. There was not one who did
not envy him those beads which he brought home, and they asked him
to show them the way to the cave. He showed them the hole in the
rock where he and his dog had gone in. They took torches and walked,
always walked, but at last they were not able to go further, for
the rest of the cave was closed. That place is now called Ganoway,
for he was the one who secured the beads which grew in the cave of
Kaboniyan, which cave the spirit always keeps clean
