Note 165 — 17

When Aponītolau and Apo=nibolinayen finished eating they said, “If you do not wish to eat we will go to see our little house in the fields.” “We will go and fix it so we will have some protection during the rainy season,” said Aponītolau. So they went truly. As soon as they arrived at the little house in their farm, “Dig up the jar of basi165 which I buried when I was a boy.” So Kanag dug up the basi which Aponītolau had made when he was a little boy. As soon as he had dug it up they drank it, and they put the basi in a big coconut shell. Aponītolau made his son drink a shell full of basi, so Kanag truly drank all of it. “Ala, dip again and I will drink next,” said Līgī to him, and Līgī drank a shell cup of basi. “Ala, dip again, we will drink three shell cups of this basi,” said Līgī. When Kanag had drunk the three shells of wine he was drunk and he slept. As soon as he was asleep, “What shall I do now,” said Līgī to himself. “The best thing for me to do is to send him away with the storm.” So he used his magical power and soon the big storm came and took Kanag to Kalaskīgan while he was sleeping.
