Ingayan mantaolida sinan sapui di lota, ut asīda, kano, kinwanida un, “Manalako’s tali ta waday sapountako si batun ta waday panbatungtako si ipangantako.” Ingayan mansapoda si batun ta waday panbatung si ipūgau. Asī kinwanin dūa ay sin agī un, “Alauntakona ta ipangan.” Asī ut kinwanin Masĕken un, “Dakui ta omyada’s tali ya manok ta mo adīda omiya, asi alaun nan ipūgau ay batungantako.”

There were two brothers, the Timungau. They went to get camotes. They found one camote the root of which went far into the ground, and they dug after it and found a wide stone. They turned it over.

They looked into the opened place, and their eyes saw to the underworld. They saw there a house, and there was being celebrated a ceremony in the underworld. Then they got their rope and fastened and tied it, and it was this way they went to the underworld.

Then they arrived at the ceremony. They went to eat. They were eating when they heard the inhabitants of the underworld say, “We will catch you so that we may eat you.” Then they became afraid, and took off their breech-clouts and tied them on the door so that it would be thought they were there. This they did.

Then they caught them, and one of the brothers said, “Do not kill us because I will marry your daughter.” Then they did not kill them, and he married one of the daughters of Maseken. Then Maseken said, “Let us go to hunt.”

They went below, but the son-in-law stayed in the trail. Maseken and his companions went, and ran after an old carabao. They arrived at the place of the son-in-law, and he saw that an old woman was running at the place they were hunting.

Then he did not lasso her, but let her go; then he went away. Maseken arrived and scolded his son-in-law, and then ran after the old woman, their mother, and caught her and wounded her. Then the son-in-law said, “We do not like to eat people.” Then Maseken said, “Return, if you do not like to eat people.”

Then they returned to the top of the ground and said, “We will get the rope so that there is something for making a net so that we can catch our food with the net.” Then they made a net so that there was something to net people with. Then the two brothers said, “Take this in order that you may eat.” But Maseken said, “They will give us rope and chickens, because if they do not give them to us we will catch the people with the net.”
