Note 106 — 9

When they were near the spring they threw away the things they carried, the female pig and poor box. While they were walking near the town of Dagdagalīsit, which was Kabᴇnbᴇnlan, Ayo saw the golden house. “We must not walk by the side of the golden house, for I am ashamed before the man who owns it,” said Ayo to Dagdagalīsit. They were still walking and Ayo followed him. As soon as they arrived at the ladder Dagdagalīsit went upstairs and Ayo did not because she thought that Dagdagalīsit did not own that house, and Dagdagalīsit made her go up, and she did. As soon as she arrived above Dagdagalīsit went to get rice to give Ayo to cook. “Cook this, Ayo, while I go to catch fish for us to eat,” he said, and he went. As soon as he caught two fish he went home, and he left the dry bark of the banana, which he used as a clout, by the river, and he became Līgī,106 so he went home. As soon as he arrived he made Ayo wake up, when he finished cooking the fish, and the baby went to him to be carried. He called Ayo and she did not go. “I wait for my husband, we will both eat at one time, bye and bye,” she said, and she took the baby which he carried, for she was ashamed. “No, I was Dagdagalīsit, but used the bark of the banana tree for a clout, because I changed my form. Let us eat.” So they ate. As soon as they finished eating, “We shall make balaua so that we invite all our relatives in the different towns, and we also shall invite Awig and Aponīgonay,” he said. Not long after he went and took the betel-nuts which he cut. When he had cut them all he oiled them and sent them to the different towns.
