Not long after Dagolayan arrived in Kadalayapan, and Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen asked where Kanag was.  “Kanag has become a big serpent.  As soon as he broke off the perfume of Baliwan which the young girl desired he became a serpent.”  Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen went around the town and told the people that they must accompany them, for they were going to see if Kanag had really become a serpent.  When Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen had killed many animals and given much food to the searchers and they did not find him, they stopped searching.

Not long after Kanag thought he would go to the river where the people took their baths.  So he went.  Not long after Langa-ayan was anxious to wash her hair, so she went to the river and washed it, and Do-ansowan washed his hair first and Langa-ayan helped him, for he was her husband.  As soon as she had washed his hair, he said to her, “I am going to the town.”  So he went and left Langa-ayan alone by the river washing her hair.  When she had washed her hair she washed her arm beads.  While she was washing her upper arm beads she heard a great commotion in the river, and soon after a big serpent appeared on the other bank.  Langa-ayan saw that it was a big serpent and she was so frightened that she started to run, but the serpent said to her, “Do not run, my aunt, I am not a real serpent, for I was a young boy before.”  So Langa-ayan stopped and asked him why he had become a great serpent.  “Because I went to Ilang to see the pretty girl, and she told me that if I could get the perfume of Baliwan she would do whatever I asked, so I went.  I did not want to go, for I was not sure that she told the truth, but she gave me her left bracelet, so I went.  When I was still far away from Baliwan I could smell the perfume, and when I reached the tree I climbed it and I tried to break the stem which held the perfume, and my companion saw that I was changing to a serpent and he ran away.  I truly became a serpent and now I have come here and have met you.  If you do not believe that I was truly a boy, I will show you the arm beads.”  So he lifted his head and Langa-ayan truly saw the arm beads around his neck.  “My aunt, will you find out how I may become a man again?” She said, “If what you have said is true you follow me.”  So they went up to the town.

Do-ansowan said to his wife, “How long you have staid at the river, my wife.”  “I was there a long time, for I met a big serpent.  If you wish to see it, it is in the yard.  He says he was a young boy and he showed me the arm beads of a young girl, which he has about his neck.  I believe that he is a young boy who has become a serpent.  When he broke the stem of the perfume which the girl wanted he became a serpent.  He wants to know how he can again become a boy.”  “Ala, if that is what he wants, you go and take him to my Uncle Ma-obagan.”  So they went and when they arrived where Ma-obagan lived she said, “Good morning, uncle.”  “Good
