Not long after the people who went to attend the Sayang went home, and Aponibolinayen and Kanag and Alama-an arrived in a level plain.  They went to the shade of an alosip [185] tree and they sat there many days, for they were very tired.  “I am anxious to drink water,” said Aponibolinayen, and not long after they heard a rooster crowing.  “I think we are near a town, for I hear a rooster crowing.”  So they went where they had heard the rooster.  “We go and drink,” said Aponibolinayen.  Not long after they reached the place where Silit (one kind of lightning) and the dog Kimat [186] guarded. Silit and the dog were sleeping and did not see them go inside of the town.  Soon they arrived in the yard of the golden house of Balbalaoga of Dona and they were ashamed to ask for water to drink, for they were naked.  So they went to the balaua and slept, for they were tired.

While they were sleeping, Balbalaoga saw them in his balaua, and he was surprised, because no one was permitted to enter the town, for Silit and the dog prevented.  He said, “What is the matter of the guards that they did not see those people enter the town?  Perhaps they are my relatives.”  So he took some clothes to the balaua for them.  He covered them with blankets while they slept.  As soon as he covered them he sat down in the balaua and waited until they got up.  As soon as Aponibolinayen awoke she saw him and said, “Do not wound us in many places, so we will not need to cure so much.”  Balbalaoga said, “If I were an enemy I would have killed you while you slept.  We are going to chew betel-nut and see who you are.”  So he cut a betel-nut and gave to them, and their spittle was like agate beads.  So he took them up into his golden house and told his mother alan to give them some clothes.  Not long after they drank basi, after they had finished eating.  All the alan were drunk and the mother of Balbalaoga of Dona said to them, “Aponibolinayen, Balbalaoga is your brother, for he was the after-birth of Awig, which they put in the tabalang which they sent down the stream. [187] So I picked him up, for I had no child to inherit all my things.”  Not long after they knew that they were brother and sister Balbalaoga asked his sister why they came to Dona without clothes.  She said, “Aponitolau is jealous of Don Carlos and he cut off his head, and the head jumped to my breasts, so we were frightened and ran away.  That is why we came here.  I did not know I had a brother who lived here.”  The head still hung to the breasts of Aponibolinayen, but they had not seen it before, for she had covered it.  As soon as she showed it to Balbalaoga he took the head from her breasts and they sent some betel-nuts to go and summon their mother.
