In time, they begot a son named PangPang. The boy had seven knee joints. He grew up to be three meters in height and with a superhuman strength. One day, SamaU went game hunting and brought home some birds. He laid these on top of of her loom. Maag, bent in her work, had not noticed it. As she worked, the dead birds suddenly fell on her lap. this startled Maag but strangely, she laughed and could not stop until SamaU saw that her teeth were like sesame seeds. Suddenly, lightnings flashed, the rains poured and the earth shook. It happened exactly as SamaU was forewarned before their marriage if ever Maag should laugh. When SamaU went hunting again, Maag complained to Baul-loy that her husband made her laugh when he knew too well that it was forbidden. So, she was hurt and would go up (to heaven). But she was leaving seven yapugans and seven sets of different colored attire for SamaU. As for their child, young PangPang was left to Baul-loy's care. Maag asked the older woman to sing to PangPang her lullaby when it cried and place it at a distance from the walls so she can easily view him from her place in heaven. When SamaU arrived home, Maag had already left. He learned of her hurt feelings from Baul-loy. SamaU immediately went to his room sulking and did not get up for seven days and seven nights. When he finally got up, he part took of a yapugan and changed into the red attire Maag left him. then he left to go to Mamuyapoy.
