Note 90 — 6

As soon as the agreed day came they went to Kaodanan and they took many pigs and basi jars. When they arrived there Pagbokásan, who was the father of Aponībolinayen, and the other people were already there and had cooked many caldrons of rice and meat. Pagbokásan took the gansa90 and he commanded someone to play and they danced. After that they ate. As soon as they finished to eat they played the gansa again and they danced. Iwaginan of Pindayan said, “Stop playing the gansas we are going to settle on how much they must pay for Aponībolinayen. As soon as we agree we will dance.” And the people were quiet and they agreed how much Lingīwan was to pay. The father and mother of Lingīwan offered the balaua three times full of jars which are malayo and tadogan and ginlasan.91 The people did not agree and they said, “Five times full, if you do not have that many Lingīwan may not marry Aponībolinayen.” He was so anxious to marry her that he told his parents to agree to what the people said. As soon as they agreed Langa-an used magic so that all the jars which the people wanted were already in the balaua—five times full. As soon as they gave all the jars which they paid, Iwaginan ordered them to play the gansas and they danced. After they danced, all their relatives who went to attend pakálon were anxious to go home for they had been there one month. “Do not detain us, for we are one month here.” So Pagbokásan let them go. Everyone carried home some jars and they all went home.92 So Pagatipánan said to Pagbokásan, “Now that the pakálon is over we Page 73will take Aponībolinayen, because Lingīwan wants her now.” Pagbokásan said, “Do not take her now. You come and bring Lingīwan day after tomorrow.” “If that is what you say we will bring him, if you will not let us take Aponībolinayen now.”
