Nilugian da ay nan pat-og hi silaw da ay salong. Idi umad-adawi da, inunod nan tulo ay lalaki daida tan nalaydan da nan babalasang. Sinagong garud nan babalasang daida ot kanan da.(They started to lighten the “salong”.when they are in the far away,”panday” and “bugan” followed them.The three maidens face them and say.)
Lungayban: Adi kayo umun unod tay tukon kami!(Don’t follow us because we are stranger)
Ngom nasuwong da Panday,Gatan,ya hi Bugan ot inunod da latta daida. Idi binmongot nan babalasang, inalan nan osa un daida nan bakgot na ot insaplit na ihan bato ay nan tatakdogan da. Bigla ay namaid nan babalasang adoy da, ut gapu hi inmegyatan da, tinmagtag da ay nan tauli hin ili da.(But Panday,Gatan,and Bugan are naughty.When the maidens got angry,one of them got her “bakgot” and chuck in the stone in the place that they are standing.The three maiden are lost,and Panday,Gatan,and Bugan will run fast because they are afraid,and return to their place.)

Idi sumalolong nan osa ay in-ina, naila na ot nan markan di bakgot hinan bato. Idi amey na istorya-on hinan amam-a yan inistorya da nan kinwani nan lalallaki.(When the grandmother went to field,she seen a marked of “bakgot” in the big rock.When she tell to the grandfather,the Gatan,Bugan,and Panday.)
In-ina: pagat motlang ay, idi amoyak hinan pan ub-ublaak ot, linmawa nan ob-ob hin sag-on na mo?(When i was in the field,the spring getting wider and wider neaner)
Idi napat-aana, inmoy da nan amam-a ot naila da ay linmawa kasin nan ob-ob.(In the morning,grandfather go and see the spring that getting wider and wider)
Awisan: Nay kaman hina dudan ubpay nan to-o an nan babalasang aydoy da ngom adi lang ammo ay tinmongaw dadi. (I think this place is homesite by the three myth.)
Ngos-itan: Ipalti-an tako ta adi da ot man tattauli hinan ili tako tan baka wada lawa ay amagon da. (Let us butcher some pigs and offer to the Anitos so that they will prevent those visitors from coming back because they might to do something bad)
Nal-os nan adu ay taw-on, nan ob-ob ot onggay lumaw-lawa. Adu ot nan inala na ay payaw ya om-a, adu pay nan ipugaw ay naun-unog. Ban-aw nan ngadan di ob-ob adoy ngom idi inggana ay linmawa, pinangadanan da ut ay Gawaan tay nan gagawa nan ob-ob ay man-ipabpabala hi danum na sunga adi mak-makgang. Maid di nagan di ili adoy sunga inpangadan da et ay Ban-aw, onggana nanbalin hi Banaao. (Years passed by,the spring slowly got wider and wider.It took over some of the rice fields around it.As it got deeper and deeper ,it even claimed some lives by drowning.The name of that spring was “Ban-aw” but when it beacame a lake,the people in that area named it “Gawaan” because the spring was in the middle of the lake making it the reason why the lake is never dried up.The place around the lake where the people live,has no name so they started calling it “Ban aw” until it became to be known as Banaao.)
