Note 131 — 12

When they arrived in Kadalayapan they played the gansa and danced, and Aponībolinayen heard the sound of the gansa, and she was anxious to go, but her spirit companion would not let her go. They saw that the lawed vine was green. Not long after they made Kanag dance, and when his body trembled, while he danced, the whole town of Kadalayapan trembled also; and when he moved his feet the fish were around his feet and they went to lap his feet, because the water came up into the town. When he stamped his feet the coconuts fell from the trees, and Līgī was very angry, and he went to sharpen his headaxe. As soon as he had sharpened his headaxe he went to where Kanag was dancing and he cut off his head. When Aponībolinayen looked at the lawed vine each leaf was wilted. “Grandmother, the lawed vine which Kanag planted is wilted,” said Aponībolinayen. “I am going to get him.” So she went and as she approached the place where Līgī used to Page 98live he saw her. “How angry you were, Līgī; you killed your son,” said Aponībolinayen, and Līgī bent his head, for he did not know it was his son. “I will use magic so that when I whip my perfume alikadakad he will stand up.”131 So the little boy stood up at once. Not long after she used her power again, and whipped her perfume dagimonau so that her son awoke. He woke up and said, “How long my sleep is!” “No, do not say that; your father killed you.” She wanted to take him back to Matawītáwen, but Līgī prevented them and he begged them to forgive him, and Aponībolinayen said, “No, we will go back, for you did not want us and you put us there.” So they went to Matawītáwen and Līgī followed them. As soon as they arrived at the spring of Matawītáwen Aponībolinayen used her power. “I use my power so that Līgī cannot see us, and the trail will become filled with thorns.”132 Not long after Līgī could not walk in the trail and he could not see them, and he was very sorry. He laid down, because he could not follow them and his hair grew like vines along the ground; and he did not eat, for he was always sorry about the things he had done to his wife and son. Not long after they forgave him and went to get him, and they all went back to Kadalayapan. Līgī commanded his spirit attendants to take his sweethearts and kill them, for they told falsehoods about Aponībolinayen, so that he did not want her any more. This is all.
