ABSTRACT
The Rankel is held by a hala, called Dalogn; if he let it fall, not only all humans, but also all inhabitants of heaven would perish. A man named Dagodn lent the halakhis adze to try to release the people, but the adze merely became blunted; so the halak returned to heaven in despair. A halakpicked this up and rubbed it in his hands and it grew larger and larger. The halak threw the stone away and ran towards the sunrise. Four cords run from the top of it to the four quarters of the world, and the ends of them, which are weighted with stones called Tang-al, hang below the surface of the earth. In some unexplained manner many Negritos were shut up in the stone, probably those who had laughed at the monkey. The kera-monkey is still to be seen on the rock and the people are still imprisoned in it.
