Woman decides to go with husband on daily journey through sky.  When in middle of heavens she turns to oil.  Husband puts her in a bottle and drops it to earth.  Bottle falls in woman’s own town, where she resumes old form and tells false tale of her absence.  She becomes ill, asks mother to prick her little finger.  Mother does so and child pops out.  Child grows each time it is bathed.  Girl refuses to divulge name of child’s father.  Parents decide to celebrate balaua and invite all people.  Send out oiled betel-nuts covered with gold to invite guests.  When one refuses, nut begins to grow on his knee or prized animal until invitation is accepted.  Child is placed by gate of town in hopes it will recognize its father.  Gives no sign until sun appears, then goes to it.  Sun appears as round stone.  Girl’s parents are angry because of her choice of a husband and send her away without good clothes or ornaments.

Sun, wife and child return home.  Sun assumes form of man.  They celebrate balaua and invite all their relatives.  Guests chew betel-nuts and the quid of the sun goes to that of Pagbokasan, so it is known that the latter is his father.  Parents of sun pay marriage price to girl’s people.

Aponibolinayen who is very ill expresses a desire for mangoes which belong to Algaba of Dalaga.  Her brother dispatches two men with presents to secure them.  One carries an earring, the other an egg.  On way egg hatches and soon becomes a rooster which crows.  They spread a belt on the water and ride across the river.  When they bathe, the drops of water from their bodies turn to agate beads.  Find way to Algaba’s house by following the row of headbaskets, which reaches from the river to his dwelling.  Defensive fence around the town is made up of boa constrictors, which sleep as they pass.  Algaba seizes his spear and headaxe intending to kill the visitors, but weapons shed tears of oil.  He takes other weapons, but they weep tears of blood.  He then makes friends of the intruders.  Learning their mission he refuses their gifts, but gets fruit and returns with them to their town.  On way he uses magic and causes the death of Aponibolinayen.  He takes her in his arms and restores her to life.  While she rests in his arms, their rings exchange themselves.  They chew betel-nuts and tell their names.  The quids turn to agate beads and lie in rows.  This is good sign.  They marry and go to Algaba’s town.  They celebrate Sayang and send betel-nuts to invite their relatives.  When the guests cross the river, the drops of water which run from their bodies are agate beads and stones of the river are of gold.  Guests all chew betel-nut and lay down their quids.  By arrangement of quids they learn the true parents of Algaba.  His brother-in-law wishes to marry his new found sister and offers an engagement present.  An earring is put in a jar and it is at once filled with gold, but Algaba lifts his eyebrows and half of the gold vanishes.  Another earring is put in jar, and it is again full.  Marriage price is paid later.
