said Gimbagonan.  He compelled her to give it to him, so he went to give the lady the betel-nut and Gimbagonan was angry.  As soon as Iwaginan reached the lady and offered her the betel-nut to chew she refused it, but he compelled her to chew it with him.  As soon as he gave the betel-nut to her he urged her to go with them to attend the Sayang.  The lady did not want to go, but he urged her very long, until she went with them.  She said, “Wait for me here while I go to change my clothes, if you want me to accompany you, but it is shameful for me to go, for they did not invite me.”  She went slowly to their house and when Iwaginan and the others waited a long time for her Gimbagonan was angry with Iwaginan and said bad words to him.

Not long after an Agta [277] woman passed by them at the river.  “Ay, Agta, did you not see the lady for whom we are waiting?” said Iwaginan.  “No, I did not see her,” said the Agta.  “If you did not see her you come with us and we will go to attend Sayang” said Iwaginan to her.  “I am ashamed to go, for I have no clothes,” said the Agta.  “No, if I wish it, do not be ashamed,” said Iwaginan.  Not long after they went.  As soon as they arrived in Kadalayapan the Agta went to sit down behind a rice winnower, and Galinginayen was carried by his father and he took him past all the people and he noticed none of them, and when they were in front of the Agta he wanted to go to her, but the Agta winked at him and he did not go to her though he recognized her as his mother.  Not long after the Agta became drunk, for they gave her much basi to drink.  While she was drunk Iwaginan called Ligi.  “Now, cousin Ligi, my companion the Agta is drunk and she has laid down on the ground.  I want you to take her into the house and give her a mat.”

Ligi took her into the house and he held her by the little finger for he did not want to touch her.  As soon as they were in the house he put her by the door and he put some old clothes over her, and the boy said, when he saw his mother, “How bad my father is, for he gave my mother the old blankets which the dogs lie on.”  As soon as his father was among the people the boy changed the blankets on his mother, and he sucked milk from her breasts.  As soon as he had sucked the milk from her breasts he went to play by the window, and the guests went below him, for they feared that he would fall.  When they were there all the time Ligi went to the house.  Not long after he arrived in the house he saw the breasts of the Agta twinkle like stars, and Ligi took the sharp knife and cut the skin off from the Agta.  As soon as he had cut off all of the black skin, he threw it out of the window.  He lifted her up and put her on a good mat, and all the people who went to attend balaua went to where the skin had fallen, for they thought it was the child who had fallen, and they saw it was the skin of the Agta.  They were surprised.
