until the nut was empty, nor did he close his lips until he had drunk all the dalo which lay there. Then he scraped the flesh of the nuts and ate until his hunger was stayed, and he flung the husks and shells of the coconuts in the doorway of Waidudu's house and departed.
At even the brothers came home, and Waidudu told them what had befallen him. They took counsel together, and then said to Waidudu, "If he comes again go up the tree as he bids thee, but take with thee a conch shell, and when thou art at the top of the tree blow upon it loudly, and we will come and slay this Aidagagiogio. He will not be able to harm thee, for thou wilt be in the tree and he will have no hands or feet wherewith to climb."
So Waidudu did as his brothers had bidden him. On the morrow Aidagagiogio came even as he had done the day before, and called upon Waidudu to pick him dalo that he might drink. And he gave him his hands and feet wherewith to climb. When Waidudu reached the top of the tree he sat there and waited. And Aidagagiogio being very impatient, cried out, "Why tarriest thou? Pick my dalo and throw them down, for I am thirsty."
"Nay," answered Waidudu, "but I will cut them off, and throw them to thee." But this he did not, for he blew loudly upon the conch shell he had brought with him, and waited for his brothers to come as they had promised.
Aidagagiogio heard the voice of the conch shell
