jungle, frequently straying. "What is the matter," he 

 said, "don't you know the way?" "Never mind," she 

 retorted, "I forgot." Arriving at the house she went 

 up the wrong ladder, and the man was angry and said: 

 "Don't you know the right ladder?" She answered: 

 "I cannot get up the ladder." "Come up and walk in," 

 he exclaimed, and began to think she was an antoh. 



She entered the room and slept there, lived with him 

 ever after, and had two children. His former wife, much 

 incensed, went to the house of her father, and after a 

 while she had a child. Her little boy chanced to come 

 to the house of his father, who asked his name. " I am 

 the son of Inyah," he said. Then the father learned 

 where his former wife was, and he went to fetch her, and 

 afterward both wives and their children lived together. 



10. LAKI SORA AND LAKI IYU 



(From the Saputans; kampong, Data Laong) 



Two men, Sora and Iyu, went into the utan to hunt 

 with sumpitans. While Iyu made a hut for the two, 

 Sora went to look for animals and came across a pig, 

 which he killed. He brought the liver and the heart 

 to the hut and gave them to Iyu to cook. When the 

 cooking was finished Iyu advised him of it, and the two 

 sat down to eat. It was already late in the afternoon 

 and Iyu, whose duty it was to fetch the pig, waited until 

 next day, when he went away to bring it in, but instead 

 he ate it all by himself, and then returned to the hut 

 and told Sora what he had done. It was now late in 

 the evening and they both went to sleep.
