Note 38 — 4337
Reading edition
In the first times Kabonīyan told a sick man to go to the mango tree at the edge of the village. “Take a feather for your hair, a clay dish Page 179with oil, a headaxe, a spear, and a small jar of basi, when you go to the tree.” He did as he was bidden, and when he reached the tree the pīnáing38 were there. “Ala! now kill a small pig and offer its blood mixed with rice. Oil the heads of the stones well, and decorate them with yellow head bands. When you do this Apadel will always guard the town.” The man and his companion always did as Kabonīyan said, and when they made balaua, or were sick, or went to fight, they did this. They ate of the pig, they played the gansas and danced. All who obeyed were always well, but one man who urinated on the stones became crazy.
