Note 138 — 13

Not long after Aponībolinayen gave birth and every time they bathed the baby it grew one span and soon it was large.138 He often went to play with the other children and his mother gave him a golden top which had belonged to his father when he was a little boy. When he struck the tops of the other children they were broken at once. Not long after he struck the garbage pot of the old woman, and she was angry and said, “If you are a brave boy, you go and get your father whom Gawīgawen of Adasen has inherited.” And Kanag went back to their house crying. “I did not have a father, you said, mother, but the old woman said he was inherited by Gawīgawen, when he went to get the orange fruit. Now prepare provisions for me to take, for I am going to get my father.” Aponībolinayen said to him, “Do not go or Gawīgawen will get you as he did your father.” But Kanag said, “If you do not let me go and do not give me food, I will go without anything.” Not long after Aponībolinayen cooked food for him and Kanag was ready to go, and he took his headaxe which was one span long and his spear. Not long after he went.
