One day when their father and mother had gone to cultivate the land and had returned, they had already eaten one-half of their pot. They said, “How is this? you like to eat iron pots.” “Yes, iron is what we like to eat.”

Then Liblibian and Pintun left together and went to the land of the Ilocano. When they arrived they made one child of an Ilocano sick so that there would be a reason for giving them bolos to eat. The Ilocano did not know enough to give them bolos to eat, but knew of medicine only. They said, “Oh! The Ilocano do not know the prayer, so let us go to Igorot land.”

They went to Igorot land and made sick one child of an Igorot. He took at once one chicken and fifteen bolos and held the ceremony liblibian. As soon as this was done, the sickness of the child was cured at once.

Ampasit

The ampasit is a ceremony which is celebrated by the western Benguet Kankanay to cure sexually caused diseases. The mambunong holds in one hand a chicken which is to be sacrificed, and relates the following story:

Ud bayag waday īsa ifūgau ya asauwana waday īsay anakda babayī mangadan si Ampasit. Sinamingsan si Ampasit inmui nan si lokto. Sinkadona sinadan īsa anak Timūngau ay lalaki intabona di anak ay babayī Ampasit. Sinkatauwataun si ama’n Ampasit adi makaanop. Yatda un natui si Ampasit.

Sinisay agou sin inmoyan ama’n Ampasit ay manamus inilada si Ampasit ay imaylagui si abalug ay bato. Sin ama inyatna un, “Tola di inmoyarn?” “Inasauwak di Timūngau ay lalaki, ut intabona sakun sīna.” Inyagan amana sin buida ut nankañauda ut inayagana si Timūngau ya din kabaena.

Kakdinganda ay mangan, si Timūngau ya din kabaena sin naada. Si Timūngau binmayun, ut nangamag, abū, kañau. Inayagona si Ampasit ya si amana ya si īnana.

Sin inmayan Ampasit ya si amana ya si īnana sin kañau Timūngau, inmagyatda mosino di namolod si gūdū sin balayan tan adī di inīla angan ililauunda.
