The flat earth is made by the spirit Kadaklan.  He also makes the moon and sun, which chase each other through the sky.  The moon sometimes nearly catches the sun, but becomes weary too soon.  The stars are stones, the lightning a dog.

A man finds his rice field disturbed even though well fenced in.  He hides and in middle of night sees some big animals fly into it.  He seizes one and cuts off its wings.  The animal turns out to be a mare which is pregnant and soon has male offspring.  The place where the wings once grew are still to be seen on the legs of all horses.

The dog of Ganoway chases a deer into a cave.  The hunter follows and in the darkness brushes against shrubs which tinkle.  He breaks off some branches.  Cave opens again on the river bank, and he finds his dog and the dead deer at the entrance.  He sees that fruits on the branches he carries are agate beads.  Returns, but fails to find more.  His townspeople go with him to seek the wonderful tree, but part of the cave is closed by the spirit Kaboniyan who owns it.

72

The jar Magsawi formerly talked softly, but now is cracked and cannot be understood.  In the first times the dogs of some hunters chased the jar and the men followed, thinking it to be a deer.  The jar eluded them until a voice from the sky informed the pursuers how it might be caught.  The blood of a pig was offered, as the voice directed, and the jar was captured.

73

The sun and moon fight.  Sun throws sand in moon’s face and makes the dark spots which are still visible.
