A bird directs Aponītolau in his search for the maiden Asībowan. Girl furnishes him with food by cooking a fish stick. They have a daughter who grows one span each time she is bathed. Aponītolau discovers that his parents are searching for him, and determines to go home. Asībowan refuses to accompany him, but uses magic and transfers him and child to his town.
Aponītolau falls in love with girl he sees bathing, and his mother goes to consult her parents. She crosses river by using her belt as a raft; when she bathes, the drops of water from her body become agate beads. The girl's people agree to the marriage and accept payment for her.
Aponītolau and his bride celebrate Sayang and send out betel-nuts to invite the guests. Asībowan refuses to attend, but a betel-nut grows on her pig until, out of pity, she consents.
After the ceremony the brother of the bride turns himself into a firefly and follows her new sister-in-law. Later he again assumes human form and secures her as his wife.
