SI ALUGAN WHO WAS BITTEN BY AN 
ALLIGATOR 
1. On a certain night Si Alu- 
gan went to catch fish with a 
hook and four were caught by 
him. When it became mid- 
night he became sleepy, it is 
said, and he slept at the edge 
of the water. 
2. About midnight he was 
scented by the alligator and the 
alligator came out of the water 
going to the shore and caught 
hold of Alugan’s leg and jump- 
ed with him into the deep of 
the water because it wanted to 
devour Si Alugan. 
3. But Si Alugan was strong 
and when the alligator was al-. 
ready dragging him into a cave 
(under the water) he lifted it 
and went with it to the shore. 
4. When the alligator had al- 
ready sunk him five times into 
the deep Si Alugan became 
weak for many were the 
wounds on his body. 
Title. AAukan, the form Alugan was said to be that given this name 
in Pinokpok, a town on the lower Saltan. 
Se, chit, pronounced also si, chet; I show the fluctuation by writing 
the vowel just as I heard it; ch in chit and other words often 
sounds almost like ds; except before ce (as in chce) where it 
approaches d 3.
