Note 187 — 21

Not long after they arrived at the alzado187 town, and the alzados were glad when they saw Aponītolau and they said to him, “You are the only man who ever came to our town. Now you cannot return home. We inherit you,” said the bravest of them. “Ala, if you say that I cannot go back home, you summon all the people in your town, for we are going to fight,” said Aponītolau, and the alzado said to him, “You are very brave if you wish to fight with all of us.” So the bravest summoned all the people to prepare, for Aponītolau wished to fight all of them. The people were surprised that one man wished to fight with them, and they said to Aponītolau, “One of my fingers will fight with you. Don't say that you will fight with all of us.” Aponītolau replied, “Do whatever you wish. I still want to fight you.” The alzados were angry. The bravest of them ran toward Aponītolau, and he threw his spear and headaxe and Aponītolau jumped. The alzados were surprised, for he jumped very high, and they all began to throw their spears at him, and they ran and tried to cut his head off. Aponītolau jumped and he secured all their spears and headaxes, and he said to them, “Am I the next now?” “Yes, because we are now unarmed.”
