said Aponitolau. "No it is not good for a woman to tell her name
first, so you must tell your name," said Asibowan. Not long after,

Binaklingan." "Wait awhile until we have commanded that a house be
built for her to live in." Not long after they commanded that a house
be made for Binaklingan, and it was all of gold. It was finished in
