Sin mamingsan inmoi di isay lakay ut binonngan di anito yan inana ut din nanagananna ay pilad. Ut nanbiliu si bato, ut inmaylagui sin sookan di liang. Mapo di danom sin tupukna ut mo waday malabas inomunda. Mayigapo sin nangisaanda si pilad tinekdan din kabunian di manbumo. There is a cave in a mountain where long ago the gods gave food to the people who stopped there. They told them to eat, but not to carry away the plates. Many people going to the seashore to trade would stop at the cave. The gods gave them food. Once a man stopped and was fed by the gods, but took away the dishes in which he had eaten. Then he was turned to stone, and (now) stands in front of the cave. Water gushes from his mouth, and when there are (people) passing by they drink it. After the plates were taken away the gods stopped giving food. THE ORIGIN OF MAN Id nabaon ginmosad si kabunian sinan lota, mo'n iwud di ifugau. Sia kinwanida, "Maptung mo waday ifugau. Takosamopoa si lalaki iga babayi." Eda inoma si lota ut sinmapo si dua ay sinan ifugau ut pimatakdugna. Dinkingpas manok asina panglagtoan kinwanida, "Pansiakak eda ta matagoda." Ut isa sinan ifugau naysiak. Sia nanbalin si lalaki. Dinusa dinnguna dinganangona ut naysiak abu, ut nanbalin si babayi. Long ago the gods came to the earth, but there were no people. They said, "It is good if there are people. We will make a man and a woman." They took some earth and made two people and stood them up. They plucked the feathers from a chicken and made it jump, saying, "We shall make them laugh so that they will be alive." Then one of the people laughed. He became a man. The other heard the first and laughed also, and became a woman. NOTES [1] See my Nabaloi Law and Ritual, present volume, pp. 236-271, 1920. [2] Ibid., pp. 280-335. [3] Phil.
