When the people in Magisang [367] went to hunt deer and when they went to divide it, the komau, a big spirit who looks like a man, and who kills people, [368] went to them to ask them, “How many did you catch?” If they had caught two they told him “Two,” and the komau said, “I caught two also.” When they went to their town, there were two dead people there in their town. Anytime they went to hunt the komau asked them how many they had caught, and when they said how many, the komau always said he had that many, and when they reached the town that many were dead. The komau did that often and many people were dead. The people in Magisang heard that Sayen was a very brave man and they went to him to tell him about the komau. Sayen said to them, “I come, but I must hide by the trees. When the komau comes and asks you how many deer you have caught he will ask you where I am. You will say to him that you do not know where I am, because you did not hear of me yet. I am sure the komau will ask you where I am, because he will smell me.” The people said, “Yes.” They went to hunt. When they reached the forest, they caught two deer and they went to the place where they singed and divided those deer which they had caught. While they were sitting there, the komau came to them and said, “How many have you?” They answered, “Two.” The komau said, “I have two also. Sayen is here.” The people said, “We do not know about Sayen, where he is.” Then Sayen came out and killed the komau.
Kaboniyan [369] went to Sayen in Benben and said, “Are you a brave man, Sayen? You are brave, because you killed the komau.” Sayen said, “Yes, I am a brave man.” Kaboniyan said, “If you are a brave man, I will meet you in that place at a distance.” Sayen said, “Yes.” Kaboniyan told him the day when he would meet him, and Sayen was to stay in the lower place and Kaboniyan in the higher place. Sayen went there on that day. When he reached there and was waiting he heard a sound like a storm and said to himself, “Here is Kaboniyan.” Kaboniyan called to him, “Are you there, Sayen?” “I am here,” said Sayen. “Are you a brave man?” said Kaboniyan to Sayen. Sayen said, “Yes.” Kaboniyan said to him, “Catch this,” and he threw his spear. Sayen caught the spear. It was as big as a large tree. Kaboniyan asked, “Did you catch it?” “Yes,” said Sayen. “Here is again,” said Kaboniyan, and threw his headaxe. Sayen caught it. “Did you catch it, Sayen?” said Kaboniyan. Sayen said, “Yes.” The axe was as large as the end roof of a house. Kaboniyan said, “Here is again,” and threw his shield. Sayen caught it again. “Did you catch it, Sayen?” Sayen said, “Yes.” Kaboniyan said, “Here is again,” and threw a very big stone. Sayen caught it. “Did you catch it, Sayen?” said Kaboniyan. Sayen said, “Yes,” and Kaboniyan said to him, “Wait for me, I come down to you.” When Kaboniyan
