• Yakan: “Na, I went to the angel and asked/requested from him the little paper roll. He said to me, ‘Take this and eat it. It will be sweet like honey in your mouth but sour when it is in your stomach.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And I went to the angel and I asked for the small scroll, and he said to me, ‘Take it and eat it. It will be very sweet like honey in your mouth, but when it is in your stomach it will be very sour.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “So I approached the angel and requested the small paper. ‘Take it and (lit. to) eat it,’ he said. ‘Its taste, it is sweet like the honey (lit. water) of bees, but later your (sing.) stomach will hurt from its bitterness.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “Well, I approached that angel. I asked for that writing. He said to me, ‘Here-you-are, here it is. Take it and eat it. On your lips, it’s like the sweetness of bees’ honey, but it’s bitter when it has been swallowed.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
