Tales of the Mythical Period 125 



"I am going to the well," said the alan Apinganan who lived in Bago- 

 nan, and she saw the blood of AponlgawanI, and she secured it on her 

 headaxe, and she put it inside of her belt. After that she went home. 

 As soon as she arrived in her house she put the blood in the big dish, 

 which had been nine times inherited, and she covered it. 



"I am going to uncover my toy," said the alan Inil-lagen. "No do 

 not uncover me, grandmother; I have no clout and belt," said the little 

 boy. So she gave him a clout and belt and after that she uncovered it. 

 Ala, we will give him the name of Ilwlsan of Dagapan," said all the alan. 



"I am going to uncover my toy," said the alan Apinganan. "No, 

 do not uncover me, because I have no clout and belt," said the little boy. 

 So Apinganan gave him a clout and belt and uncovered him. "Ala, 

 there is no other good name, but Dondonyan of Bagonan. 



"I am going to fight," said Dondonyan of Bagonan. He took his 

 headaxe, which was one span long, and he went to get Ilwlsan of Dagapan, 

 and so Ilwlsan took his headaxe, which was one span long, and they went. 

 As soon as they got out of the town they began to strike their shields 

 with a stick. The sound of the beating was as great as that made by 

 one hundred. As soon as Aponibolinayen heard the noise of the shields 

 she shouted and Danay of Kabisilan shouted also, and those who shouted 

 were the ladies who always staid in the house. 1 When they passed by 

 the spring of Natpangan AponlgawanI shouted. When they passed by 

 Pindayan, Gimbagonan shouted and the world trembled while she 

 shouted. 



While they were walking they arrived at the spring of Glambolan 

 of Kaboyboyan, who was an alzado. 2 Not long after they reached the 

 alzado woman at the spring, for she was still making Sayang. Not long 

 after Ilwlsan of Dagapan killed the tattooed alzados, who were more 

 than one hundred, who were dipping water from the spring. "We go 

 to the town," said Ilwlsan of Dagapan to Dondonyan. "Yes," he said, 

 and they went. As soon as they arrived in the town, Glambolan saw 

 them and he was surprised, for they were two boys who entered the town. 

 "You little boys who come in my town, you are the first who ever came 

 here," said Glambolan, who had ten heads. He went up into the house 

 and the little boys said, "Take your headaxe and spear Glambolan; 

 although we are little boys we are not afraid of you, for we came here to 

 fight with you. It is the last of your life now." "Glambolan, you first 

 fight against us," said Ilwlsan. He used his power. "You headaxe and 

 spear of Glambolan, if he throws you against us, do not strike us."
