group (tribe) and having a moral
or meaning or an explanation of
the creation of the world, animals
or natural phenomena.

19. Three Itneg men once went to the
mountains to hunt deer. They took their
blankets with them, for they expected to be
gone several days, and the nights in the
mountains were cold. Two of the blankets had
blue-and-white designs, like those commonly
worn by the Itneg. The third blanket was
covered with red and yellow stripes like the
back of a little wild pig.

20. At night the men rolled up in their blankets
and lay down under a tree to sleep. But
while the one in the striped blanket was
still awake, two spirits came near and saw
him.

21. “Oh,” he heard one spirit say to the other,
“here we have something to eat, for here is a
little wild pig.” Then the man quickly took the
blanket off one of his sleeping companions and
put his own in its place. Very soon the spirits
came and ate the man under the striped
blanket.

22. Since that time the Itneg never sleep
under that kind of a blanket if they are
where the spirits can get them.
