Note 23 — Tinguian
Reading edition
After her people had all returned to their homes, she grew very unhappy, and when her mother-in-law commanded her to cook she had to feel her way around, for she would not uncover her face. Finally she became so sad that she determined to run away. One night when all were asleep, she used magical power and changed herself into oil.23 Then she slid through the bamboo floor and made her escape without anyone seeing her.
