Not long after he arrived in Pindayan and he made a big party.  Adolan and Iwaginan and Igowan went to attend the party.  Not long after he took Inalingan out of his belt, she was a pretty girl who looked like the newly opened flower of the betel-nut tree.  “Where did you get her?” “‘Where did you get her?’ you say.  I met her in the place where there are many lawed vines, and when you cut their leaves they smile,” said Ibago wa Agimlang.

“Now, brother, we are going to chew betel-nut, and see if we are truly relations,” said Daliwagenan (Ibago wa Agimlang), and he called Adolan, Igowan, and all his brothers and sisters, and his father and mother.  He gave them betel-nut to chew, and Dagilagatan and Dinowagan told their names first and Iwaginan was the next, and then Adolan and then Igowan, but he said that he was the son of the alan, and next was Agimlang and then the pretty girl.  She said, “My name is Inaling who is the little girl who never goes out of the lawed vines, which when somebody cuts they smile.”  After they finished chewing the betel-nut and telling their names, they laid down their quids, and the quids Igowan and Ginalingan (Inaling) went to the quids of Iwaginan and Adolan.  “Oh, my son, Igowan and my daughter Ginalingan, I thought that I did not have any more my daughter and son and that the alan had taken.  We did not feed you rice,” said the old woman Dinowagan.  “Ala, my son, Agimlang, do not feel sorry, because you heard what your father Dagilagatan said to you, because you met your brothers and sister who are Igowan and Ginalingan,” said the old woman Dinowagan.  After that they danced for about nine months.  After that Igowan and Adolan and Iwaginan went home and they did not let Ginalingan go back home.

As soon as Igowan arrived in his town he built balaua and he invited all his relatives who lived in different towns and all the alan in the world.  Not long after the people whom he invited arrived in the town of Igowan, and all the alan went to his Sayang, and the alan were surprised that Dagilagatan and Dinowagan knew that Igowan and Ginalingan were their son and daughter, so they asked them.  They said that Ibago wa Agimlang met them when he came from war and he took them to his party so they knew that they were their son and daughter for they chewed betel-nut.  As soon as Igowan’s Sayang was over the alan gave all their valuable things to him, and also those who had taken Ginalingan.  As soon as they had given them all their things the alan flew away and Dinowagan and her husband took their sons and daughters to Pindayan.
