Not long after they went to the place where the mountain rice grew, and he went to station her in the high watch house.  He commanded her to climb, and when she was in the middle of the ladder she was afraid, for she nearly fell down, it was so high.  Not long after she reached the watch house.  When she looked down it seemed as if her eyes fell down it was so high.  “Ala, you my daughter Linongan live here and watch our rice, I will come to see you.  Do not show yourself if anyone comes,” said Awig to her and he went home to Natpangan.  “Ala, you are so happy now, Awig, for you cannot see our daughter Linongan,” said his wife Aponibolinayen, and Awig laid down in the balaua and Aponibolinayen laid down in the room.

As soon as Awig left Linongan in the field, the tattooed alzados went to the watch house, and Linongan laid down for she was afraid of them.  When the tattooed alzados looked up toward the watch house it seemed as if the moon shone, “Ala, we will go up and see what that is.”  They went up, and when they arrived in the place where the girl was they were surprised at her beauty.  “We will not kill her,” said the young men to the bravest of them.  “Yes,” said the bravest, “get away so I can see her, if she is very beautiful.”  When the young men got away he cut her in two at her waist.  They took her body and her head and went home.  “Why did you kill her,” said the young men.  “So that you do not get a bad omen, young men,” said the bravest of them.

Not long after they had killed Linongan, “Why does my breast flutter so, Awig?” said Aponibolinayen.  “I feel sad also,” said Awig.  “Ala, Aponibolinayen you cook food for me to take when I go and see our daughter,” said Awig.  Aponibolinayen truly went to cook for him.  When Aponibolinayen finished cooking, “Ala, give me my dark colored clout and my belt which has pretty colors, so that I go at once to the place where the tattooed alzados are.  Perhaps they found our daughter.  Look often at the lawed which I shall plant by the stove.  If it wilts so that its leaves are drooped, you can say Awig is dead.” [283]

When Aponibolinayen thought he had arrived at the field she looked at the lawed and it was green and flourishing.  Not long after Awig saw the blood below the watch house.  “Perhaps this is the blood of my daughter.  I am going to see if they have killed her.”  He climbed up, and when he got up, the body and head were not there, so he went down.  As soon as he got down he sat and he bent his head, “What can I do?  Where am I going to go to find my daughter?” he said.  Not long after he took a walk.  When he reached the jungle he looked at the big high tree. ["We can see all over the world from the high trees.”  This was a side remark by the story-teller.] “The best thing is for me to climb so that I watch and see where the alzados live, where my daughter is,” he said, and so he climbed.  As soon as he climbed up he saw all over the world.  He
