When two or more persons living in one house become sick at the same
time, the anap generally shows that the dagas, which are spirits that
live in houses, have caused the sickness. When the people living in a
certain house have not had a canao for a long time, the dagas which
live with them become hungry and make them sick. The ceremony which
must then be celebrated is called by the same name, dagas.
A chicken, rice, blankets, and tapuy are necessary. The mambunong
holds the chicken in one hand, and squats near the rice, tapuy,
and blankets while relating the following:
Wada, kano, san dua ay sin agi. Bomalada pay, kano, mo waday
mansida. Pankapokapoan san ipugau. Ay kaasi ta pay kanosna adi
unya nan manili si ipanganta. Daeda kinwanina un, "Amuita ut ta
unta masapos boita sin lomasan." Makasapoda payan unmadas asoda,
ut unda manganop.
Manganopoda pay, kano, yan guniyagiak san asoda isan gawanda

Alaunda pay, kano, ut sapounda boida. Yan kanutnut kasindan

san dagas pay mayilatonan. Asida pay ipaytok sinan ipugau ut siay

There were two brothers. They went out of the house when there
was a ceremony. The people rubbed their greasy hands on them. They
were sad because they were not given food by the people. They said,
"Let us go and make our house out of sight." When they had left,
they took their dogs and went to hunt.
While they were hunting, their dogs barked in the midst of the
forest. They went there, and they were barking at a branchless
tree, a branchless bamboo, and a branchless vine. They said,
"Let us take them and use (them) for making our house."
They took them and used (them) for making their house. Then they
were always sick, but they took one chicken and gave it to the
dagas. Then they handed this down to the people, and it is being
done again by the people.
