Note 188 — 21

When the party was over all the people whom they invited went home and Kanag said to his father, “Now that your party is over and the people have gone, I will go down and get the fruit of the trees to eat.”188 Aponībolinayen said to him, “My dear little son, do not go down and eat the fruit of the trees; we have all we need here. Forgive your father and me, we will not send you again to the field.” Kanag did not pay attention and he started to go down. So Aponībolinayen and Aponītolau commanded the spirit helpers. “Go and follow Kanag wherever he goes, so that he has companions; do not leave him. Find a pretty girl for him so that he will not go down.” Not long after they overtook Kanag in the forest and they all sat down and they said to him, “Wait here for us a minute, Kanag, while we find a toy for you.” “No, I do not wish a toy; I am going down and eat the fruit of the trees.” “No, please wait for us. It is very near; we will be back soon. If you do not care for any, you will see. Wherever you go we shall accompany you.” Kanag answered to them, “Yes,” and they went. As soon as they arrived at the well they used their power so that all the pretty girls who never go outdoors felt very hot, so that they all came to the well to bathe.
