Those who live in the same town go to raid—to take heads. After they arrive, those who live in the same town, “We go and dance Page 173with the heads,” said the people who live in the same town, “because they make a celebration, those who went to kill.” “When the sun goes down, you come to join us,” said the mother and baby (to her husband who goes to the celebration). After that the sun truly went down; she went truly to join her husband; after that they were not (there), the mother and the baby (i.e., when the father arrived where they had agreed to meet, the mother and child were not there).
They went truly and prepared; after that they brought (the things) to the gate. After that the mother and child came out of the ground. “After this when there is a happening like this, of which you Īpogau are in danger, you do like this (i.e., make the Ībal ceremony) and I alone, Kabonīyan, am the one you summon,” said Kabonīyan.
After that they got well because they came up—the mother and the baby.
