As soon as the people returned to their towns, when the party was over, Aponitolau went to take a walk. When he reached the brook he sat down on a stone and the big frog went to lap up his spittle. Not long after the big frog had a little baby. [223] Not long after she gave birth, and the anitos [224] went to get the little baby and flew away with it. They used their power so that the baby grew fast and it was a girl, and they taught her how to make dawak. [225] Not long after the girl knew how to make dawak, and every time she rang the dish to summon the spirits.
Kanag went to follow his father, but he did not find him where he had been sitting by the brook, and Kanag heard the sound of the ringing which sounded like the bananayo. [226] As soon as he heard it he stood still and listened. Not long after he used his power so that he became a bird and he flew. As soon as he arrived at the place where the girl was making dawak she said to him, “You are the only person who has come here. If you are an enemy cut me in only one place so I will not have so much to heal.” “I am not an enemy; I came here for I heard what you were doing; so I became a bird and flew.” Kanag gave betel-nut to her and they chewed. Their quids looked like the beads pinogalan, so they knew that they were brother and sister. The girl said to him, “Go inside of the big iron caldron so that the anitos who care for me will not eat you.” So Kanag went inside of the big iron caldron. When the anitos did not arrive at the accustomed time Kanag went out of the caldron and said to his sister, “Now, my sister, I will take you to Kadalayapan. Our father and mother do not know that I have a sister. Do not stay always with the anitos” His sister replied, “I cannot go to Sudipan [227] when no one is making balaua, for I always make dawak as the anitos taught me. If I come in Sudipan when no one is making balaua it would make all of the people very ill.” So Kanag went home.
As soon as he arrived he told his father and mother to make balaua for he wanted his sister to see them. “We just made balaua. How can we make balaua again?” said his father and mother. “I want you to see my sister whom I found up in the air, where the anitos took her.” “You are crazy, Kanag; you have no sisters or brothers; you are the only child we have.” Kanag said to them, “It is sure that I have a sister. I don’t know why you did not know about her. The anitos took her when she was a little baby and they taught her how to make dawak, and she always makes dawak. I wanted to bring her when I came back, but she said she could not come to Sudipan when no one makes balaua, for she is always making dawak. She said if she came to Sudipan and did not make dawak everyone would be ill, so I did not bring her. If you wish to see your daughter, father, make balaua at once.” So they made balaua, for they wished to see their daughter.
