Note 68 — 59

In the old times Malīlipeng was walking along the trail in the woods when he heard the alan68 in the trees. He laid down on his face as if dead and the alan who saw him began to wail, for they thought he was dead. When they brought gold and beads to place on him, he sprang up and drove them away. “Give us the one bead which is nagaba, or we will burn your house,” said the alan. The man refused. When he reached home his house was burned, but he still had the bead.
