9. Si Alugan got up and took 
a big stone and hit the back of 
the alligator which ran away 
to its lair. 
10. And then the neighbors 
of Alugan came together to 
talk for they wanted to kill the 
alligator. 
11. And when they assembled 
they were many and they said : 
“We are sufficient to kill it for 
we are many.” So they went 
to its lair and dug a deep hole 
at the edge of the water be- 
side its home. 
12. When the hole was fin- 
ished which they had made 
they covered it over with the 
leaves of trees. This done 
they went to get a dog and 
used it as bait in the hole. 
13. Ancfwhen the dog barked 
it was heard by the alligator 
and the alligator ran to go 
and eat it but was caught in 
the hole. And then they killed 
the alligator. Finished.

pressions as nalpas aminen, all finished already.
