Not long after Aponitolau said to Aponibolinayen, “We will make balaua and we will invite Kabkabaga-an.  I think that is why the boy cried.”  Aponibolinayen said, “Yes,” and they truly made Sayang.  Not long after they made Libon [243] in the evening, and they commanded the spirit helpers to go and get betel-nuts.  As soon as they arrived with the betel-nuts Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen commanded, “You betel-nuts go and invite all our relatives and Kabkabaga-an.”  So one of the betel-nuts went to the place where Kabkabaga-an lived.  As soon as it arrived up above it said, “Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen of Kadalayapan want you to attend their balaua.  That is why I came here.”  Kabkabaga-an said, “Yes, I will follow you.  You go first.”  When it became afternoon all the people from the other towns had arrived in Kadalayapan.  When they looked under the talagan [244] they saw Kabkabaga-an, and Aponibolinayen went to take her hand, and they made her dance.  As soon as she finished dancing she told Aponibolinayen and Aponitolau that she would go back home.  “No, do not go yet, for we will make pakalon for Tabyayen first,” said Aponibolinayen.  “No, you care for him.  I must go home now, for no one watches my house.”  Not long after she went, for they could not detain her, and they did not see her when she went.  As soon as the Sayang was over they made pakalon for Kanag and Tabyayen, and Kanag married Dapilisan, and Tabyayen married Binaklingan, and the marriage price was the balaua about nine times full for each of them.  As soon as they both were married Tabyayen staid in his house which had been up in the air before.  Kanag staid in another house which Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen had.

“Look out for our children, Ligi, while I wash my hair,” said Ayo.  “Yes,” said Ligi.  As soon as Ayo reached the spring Ligi went to make a basket, in which he put the three little pigs which had little beads around their necks.  As soon as he made the basket he put the three little pigs in it, and he climbed a tree and he hung the basket in it.  Not long after he went down and Ayo went back home from the well.  “Where are our children—­the little pigs—?” [245] said Ayo to him.  As soon as Ligi said he did not know, Ayo began to search for them, but she did not find them.

The little pigs which Ligi hung in the tree grunted, “Gek, gek, gek,” and the old woman, Alokotan of Nagbotobotan, went to take a walk.  While she was walking she stopped under the tree where the pigs hung.  She heard them grunting and she looked up at them and saw that the basket contained three pigs.  “What man hung those little pigs in the basket in the tree?  Perhaps he does not like them.  I am going to get them and take them home, so that I will have something to feed.”  So she got them.  She took them home, and she named the older one Kanag, the second one Dumalawi, the third was Ogogibeng.
