for we are going to take Aponibolinayen to Adasin,” said Aponibalagen.  Soon it became morning and they all went to Adasin and Gimbagonan carried two big baskets of cakes, and while they were walking she ate all the time and she ate half of them.  When they arrived at the spring of Gawigawen of Adasin, they were surprised, for it was very beautiful and its sands were of beads, and the grass they used to clean pots with was also beads and the place where the jars sat was a big dish. [153]

“Go and tell Gawigawen that he must come here and bring an old man, for I am going to take his head and make a spring for Aponibolinayen,” said Aponibalagen.  So someone went and told Gawigawen to bring the old man Taodan with him to the spring.  So Aponibalagen cut off his head and he made a spring and the water from it bubbled up and the body became a big tree called Alangigan [154] which used to shade Aponibolinayen when she went to the spring to dip water, and the blood of the old man was changed to valuable beads.  Not long after they went up to the town and the place where they walked—­from the spring to the ladder of the house—­was all big plates.  Gimbagonan sat below the house ladder, because they were afraid the house could not hold her, for she was a big woman, and she hated them and she said to Iwaginan, “Why do you put me here?” “We put you there because we are afraid that you will break the house and give a bad sign to the boy and girl who are to be married.” [155]

Aponibolinayen covered her face all of the time and she sat down in the middle of the house, for Indiapan said that she must not uncover her face for her husband Gawigawen had three noses, and she was afraid to look at him. [156] But Gawigawen was a handsome man.  Aponibolinayen believed what Indiapan had told her.  Not long after Dinawagan spread the string of agate beads along the floor where Aponibolinayen sat. [157] After a month they were still there and the people from the other towns wished to go home, and Aponibalagen said to Aponibolinayen, “Ala, be good to your husband and uncover your face.  We are going back home now.”  But Aponibolinayen would not uncover her face.  Not long after all the people went back to their towns and Aponibolinayen’s mother-in-law commanded her to go and cook.  She did not uncover her face, but always felt when she went about, and when she had cooked, she refused to eat, but Gawigawen and his father and mother ate.  When Gawigawen went to Aponibolinayen at night she changed to oil, and she did that every night, and they put the carabao hides under her mat so the oil would not drop to the ground.  On the fifth night she used magic so that they could not see her go out and she dropped her beads under the house and then she became oil and dropped her body.  So she went away and always walked and Gawigawen looked for her, for a long time.  He went to Natpangan for he could not find her in any of the towns.
