of Dalonágan, and also they made to dance Kanag, [115] who was the
son of Aponibolinayen and Aponitolau. When they finished to dance, Datalan and Dalonágan of Kabisilan danced, and when they finished to dance, Iwaginan made Dagapan and Indiápan dance. When they had finished dancing Ginteban and Agyokan were next. And the beads of Ginteban were jars, which struck together while they danced. Next were Iwaginan and Kindi-iñan who was the wife of Ilwisan of Dagapan. And when they had all danced they stopped playing the _gansa_. Aponitolau gave the payment for Aponibolinayen and it was the _balaua_ nine times filled with jars--_malayo, tadogan_, and _ginlasan_. [116] And when he had given all the payment they played again on the _gansas_ for one month and they danced. When one month passed, they went home--their relatives whom they had invited. They said, "Ala! now Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen, since the day has arrived on which we go home, do not detain us for we have been here for a month, we go home to our town." Not long after they all went home. And the father and mother of Aponitolau took them home with them to Kadalayapan, and they took all their possessions from up above. When they arrived in Kadalayapan those who lived in the same town were surprised, for Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen were there. They went to see them and Balokánag (i.e., Kanag--their son) was large. It is said. (Told by Magwati, a man of Lagangilang Abra.) 2 |
