    Three Itneg men went hunting in the mountains and took blankets to stay warm at night. One blanket had red and yellow stripes like a wild pig. While sleeping under a tree, spirits mistook the striped blanket for a pig. The man in the striped blanket swapped blankets with a sleeping companion to avoid being eaten by the spirits, but they ate the man under the striped blanket instead. Now the Itneg people avoid sleeping with striped blankets in places where spirits may be present.

    The Striped Blanket

    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.

    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.

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