The mother and caretaker of Asbinan try to arrange for him to marry Dawinisan, but are refused.  Asbinan goes to the girl’s home and feigns sickness.  Is cared for by the girl, who becomes infatuated with him and accepts his suit.  His parents pay jars and gold—­in the shape of deer—­for her.

Asbinan refuses to eat until his father secures fish roe.  He then demands Chinese dishes from the coast town of Vigan.  When these are supplied, he eats, and then demands the love charm which his father used when a young man.  He goes to the place where the maidens are spinning, and when one offers to give him a light for his pipe, he blows smoke in her face.  The charm acts and she becomes ill.  He convinces her people that the only way she can be cured is by marrying him.  Her parents accept payment for the girl.

Tolagan decides to visit certain places in Pangasinan.  He rides on a pinto pony and carries rice cakes as provisions.  At the spring in Kaodanan he meets a beautiful maiden who warns him to return home, because the birds have given him a bad sign.  He returns only to find that his wife has been stolen by the spirit Kaboniyan.  He fails to find her, but is comforted by winning a new bride (probably the girl of Kaodanan).

31

Two girls are adopted by a rich man, who treats them as his daughters, except that he does not offer them bracelets or rings.  They dress as men and go to see a jeweler.  Two young men suspect and follow them, but they succeed in escaping and return home.

The spirit helpers of the youths take the forms of hawks and finally locate the maidens, whom they carry away.  The youths plan to marry the girls and invite many friends to the celebration.  Kanag and his companion attend, become enamored with the brides and steal them.  Upon chewing betel-nuts they learn that they are related, so they are married.

The Ipogau who are trying to celebrate Sayang make errors.  The spirit Kadaklan and his wife instruct them to go and watch the Sayang at Sayau.  They do as bidden and after learning all the details return home and perform the ceremony.  The chief spirits are pleased and cause the lesser spirits to attend the ceremony when summoned by the medium.  The sick improve.

33

The people who are conducting the Dawak ceremony fail to do it properly.  Kaboniyan (a spirit) goes down and instructs them.  After that they are able to cure the sick.

34

The spirits of Dadaya notice that their feather headdresses have lost their lustre.  They place them on the house of some mortals, who at once become ill.  The spirit Kaboniyan instructs them to make the Pala-an ceremony.  They obey, the feathers regain their brightness and the people recover.

35

The father who is starting for a head-dance agrees to meet his wife and baby at sun down.  When he reaches the agreed spot, he finds only their hats; he looks down and sees them in the ground.  He tries in vain to get them out.  The spirit Kaboniyan instructs him to perform the Ibal ceremony.  He does so and receives his wife and child.
