THE STORY OF LUMAWIG 
1. Si Lumawig was absolutely 
destitute and had nothing to 
eat. Those parents of his 
were all dead. 
2. The uncle of Lumawig and 
his aunt and cousins would not 
give him any food and when he 
grew up he went to other vil- 
lages to borrow money from 
some people to whom he told 
lies. The total of his debt ex- 
ceeded two hundred pesos. 
3. When the people went to 
ask for the money which Luma- 
wig had borrowed he said: 
“Just wait, for I shall go and 
find the money to pay back 
that money which I borrowed 
from you.” And for a long 
time after he absolutely could 
not find money to pay his debts. 
4. On a certain night Luma- 
wig went and stole the treas- 
ure-basket of the Bayug family 
which was full of beads. And 
the value of the beads stolen 
by Lumawig from Bayug was 
three hundred pesos. And the 
beads he used as a means to 
pay all his debts to the other 
people. 
1. hachéchit, the same as later hich&chit, hachit, is sometimes pronounced 
with s for h (sachechit, ete.); the majority, however, is said to repu- 
diate this as incorrect; for @ compare notes to Salegseg phonetics in the 
introduction. 
2. issdén, expressing unwillingness, adverbial to itchan; past inissan. 
itchan, one to whom is given, past initchan; mangitéd one who gives.
